Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI.""I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import.""The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT.""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.""The solution is easy to use and developer friendly.""The UI is very user-friendly.""SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services.""The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

More SSIS Pros →

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish.""WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time.""WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database.""The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code.""Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied.""It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment.""Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features.""Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."

Cons
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed.""The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved.""Options for scaling could be improved.""It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life.""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.""The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""The solution could improve by having quicker release updates.""Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."

More SSIS Cons →

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated).""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved.""They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""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 solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it.""Customization could be better.""Technical support isn't the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "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."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
  • 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."
  • "Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
  • "Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

Each technology has its advantages but there are also similarities on how they carry out the extract-transform-load processes and only differ in terminologies. If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow.

Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections.
