A stable and scalable tool with data handling capabilities and an amazing technical support
I am from the data visualization team and used SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. This year, my team has stopped the use of SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. We have a separate team that uses SAS Data Integration Server since they belong to the data management team. I recommend the solution to those organizations that have a very large scale of data to handle so that they can utilize the solution's data handling capabilities. Organizations can go with the solution's on-premises or cloud version. Since the cost of the on-premises version of the solution is huge, I recommend businesses go with the cloud version. I rate the overall product between seven to eight out of ten.

Beneficial source data importing, reliable, and quick initial setup
I am using SSIS for a primary database Not much but served as better alternative The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources.  SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The solution is very stable."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The solution is stable."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The data reader is the most valuable feature."
More SSIS pros
 

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."
"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"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."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"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 is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
More SSIS cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."
"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"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."
