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.

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."

"Overall, it's a good product."

"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."

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

"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."

"The UI is very user-friendly."

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

"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."

More SSIS pros

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

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

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

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

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

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

"I like the data vault implementations."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."

"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."

"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"We'd like more integration capabilities."

"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."

"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."

"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."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

More SSIS cons

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

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

"Customization could be better."

"Technical support isn't the best."

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

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

"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."

"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."

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The solution comes free of cost."

"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."

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

More SSIS pricing and cost advice

"ROI is at least 10 times."

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

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

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