Maintaining the solution and contacting its support team is easy

We have a consolidated data warehouse. We use an SSIS tool as a pipeline to fetch the data from multiple sources such as Excel, CSV, Oracle database, or APIs. Further, we put the data into the SSIS database. We are using the solution for ETL purposes Previously, it took a lot of work to connect…

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

"The UI is very user-friendly."

"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."

"The technical support is very good."

"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."

"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."

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

"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."

"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."

More SSIS pros

"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."

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"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."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

"I like the data vault implementations."

"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."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."

"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."

"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."

"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."

More SSIS cons

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

"Customization could be better."

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

"Technical support isn't the best."

"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."

"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."

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

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."

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

"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."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

"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."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."

More SSIS pricing and cost advice

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

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."
