Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."
"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
"One valuable feature is that it is event-driven, so when new data is available on the source it can be quickly processed and displayed. Integration is definitely another useful feature, and B2B is one area where webMethods has its own unique thing going, whereby we can do monitoring of transactions, monitoring of client onboarding, and so on."
"All of the components are very independent but are tied together to give the business value."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"The main assets are its flow language, debugging, and Broker. Flow language is far better and more flexible for debugging."
"The tool is very powerful and user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"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 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."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"Performance could be better."
"In terms of scale, I would give it a four out of 10."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"The certifications and learning resources are not exposed openly enough. For instance, they have a trial version which comes with only a few basic features, and I think that community-wise they need to offer more free or open spaces where developers can feel encouraged to experiment."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"Documentation needs tuning. There is a lot of dependency with SoftwareAG. Even with the documentation at hand, you can struggle to implement scenarios without SAG’s help. By contrast, IBM’s documentation is self-explanatory, in my opinion."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
