Associate Manager at a tech services company with 10,001+ employees

It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.

I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME) I have been using it for 6-7 months. There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability…

Lead Database Administrator at a insurance company with 201-500 employees

Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints

I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.

Chris Farris

Manager, Data Operations at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

User-friendly interface facilitates efficient data migration and reduces operational overhead

Its usability and ease of use are standout features. It is really easy to use - almost too easy at times. Users don't have to be experts to use their tool set and utilize the clicking mechanisms, drop down boxes, and other features to build a package and run it. The configuration is very easy and the system is very stable. I would rate it at a 10 as it is highly reliable; we have never had any problems with it. Very little maintenance is required on my side. While you need to keep the product up to date, the maintenance requirements are minimal. SSIS integrates with all Microsoft tools seamlessly. We have used it against Oracle, DB2 and SQL. It integrates and can move data around from any data platforms, making it very diverse in that standpoint. It is a very robust tool that can work with many data sources, and its main strength is that it is extremely easy to use.
