Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS…

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."

"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."

"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."

"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."

"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

"Overall, it's a good product."

More SSIS pros

"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."

"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."

"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."

"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."

"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."

"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."

"Improvement as per customer requirements."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"Video training would be a helpful addition."

"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."

More SSIS cons

"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

More WhereScape RED cons

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."

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

More SSIS pricing and cost advice

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
