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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

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

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

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

"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."

"The initial setup was easy."

"It has good data integration and good processes."

"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."

"Overall, it's a good product."

"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."

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."

"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."

"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."

"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."

"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."

"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."

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

"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

"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."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

"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."

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

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

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