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…

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.

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.

"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."

"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."

"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."

"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."

"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"It is easy to set up the solution."

"SSIS is easy to use."

"Overall, it's a good product."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"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)."

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."

"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."

"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."

"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."

"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."

"SSIS is not stable."

"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

"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."

"The solution comes free of cost."

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"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."

"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 has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
