We performed a comparison between SSIS and Talend Data Management Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"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 easy to set up the solution."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"It's a competent product."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"Performance could be better."
"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."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Sometimes when we want to publish to other types of databases it's not easy to publish to those databases. For example, the Jet Database Engine. Before the SSIS supported Jet Database Engine but nowadays it doesn't support the Jet Database Engine. We connect to many databases such as Access database, SparkPros databases and the other types of databases using Jet Database Engines now and SSIS now doesn't seem to support it in our databases."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."

There are two products I know about
* TimeXtender : Microsoft based, Transformation logic is quiet good and can easily be extended with T-SQL , Has a semantic layer that generates metat data for cubes . price approx 40K$, works with tables
. Attunity (Bought by Qlik) : technology agnostic , nice web interface , expensive > 100K€. Works with transaction logs
There are many other pure ETL tools
* ERWIN has a nice one ,
Depends upon the technologies being used. If you're using Oracle for both OLTP and OLAP then you'll get a lot of value from an Oracle solution.
The other question is how up to date do you want your OLAP DB to be? Goldengate is a good answer if you're looking to minimize latency, but it can be expensive. ODI is less expensive but better suited to bulkier data sets. If an Oracle product wasn't the option I'd probably consider something like Informatica.

As someone mentioned, if you're purely Oracle shop and staying that way then there's value with prioritizing Oracle tools. However, let me contrast that with this caveat...
Consider expectations for tool and vendor longevity. Oracle has a long history of retiring and/or replacing tools leaving customers in the cold with prior versions/tools (I've been burned multiple times by Oracle product retirements or replacements including OWB, Oracle Designer2k, Oracle Express, Oracle OEDW, their purchase of Sagent ETL which as later abandoned).
But I would also consider these questions and relative prioritization:
What is your organization's plans for moving to other database technologies?
Where is your org going with on-prem versus cloud solutions? How important are PaaS versus IaaS solutions?
Where is your current staff's expertise?
Prioritize mature over immature tools.
How many sources do you have? What are their technologies and does the integration tool support them?
Is it just moving data from a single ERP such as Oracle EBS to Olap? When you say Olap what do you mean by that? Are you talking Oracle Olap product or something else? That makes a really big difference of course - if your ETL tool doesn't support your source(s) and target(s) then it shouldn't be considered.
Given the industry's trajectory, I myself would highly prioritize PaaS solutions over others.
What is the OLAP that you are using? Hosted in Cloud or on-premise?
The target DB should have its tool to extract data.
Pentaho is a really nice tool if opensource is the only option.
Please think about issues such as upgrade and disaster in the future. These operations are very easy in Pentaho.
I can only suggest one thing for replication and that is Qlik. (ex-Attunity).
Hi Karoly, Thanks for your input. community: forums.pentaho.com is not allowing new registrations for new users. I guess they accept queries from customers only and not from any one. Do you know any other forum, community, SMEs contacts who can help on queries?
