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.

Tech Lead at a consultancy with 11-50 employees

Reporting has become streamlined for year-end data checks but integration still needs improvement

When I talk about SQL Server, I am working with SSIS, the data integration tool. I am not entirely sure if I use SSIS as a library of transformations or if I personally work with an extensive library of transformations. I have integrated SSIS with SQL Server Management Studio, and I am very satisfied with the integration as it is integrated well. I am not using the debugging feature in SSIS because the developers would be the ones that would actually utilize it. I have noticed that in 2022, AI functionality has actually been implemented already. I would rate this review overall at a 7.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."

"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."

"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."

"Web based interface."

"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."

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

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

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

"The setup is easy to use and understand."

"Its easy to use, fast to develop."

"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."

"There is a huge community to find the tutorials you need."

"SSIS is a tool which anybody can learn in no time."

"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."

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

"With virtualization enabled we are able to scale horizontally."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."

"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."

"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."

"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."

"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."

"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."

"Video training would be a helpful addition, however."

"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."

"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."

"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."

"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features. With Talend, we can handle a large volume of data. Talend is usually used to treat a large volume of data, which makes it better than SSIS on the data side. Talend also has a very good Talend Management Console to schedule the jobs and do other things. It can also be easily connected to version control tools such as GitHub or SVN. The last time I used SSIS, it was connected through TSS for the Windows Console version. I am not sure it has been improved or not. If it is not improved, Microsoft should improve it. They should change the product to provide another console."

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

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
