Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable
he ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The performance and stability are good."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."
"I come from a coding background and this tool is graphically based. Sometimes I think it's cumbersome to do mapping graphically. If there was a way to provide a simple script, it would be helpful and make it easier to use."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
