CloverDX Designer vs SSIS comparison

"Its simplicity and the way it handles graphs are the most valuable features."

"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."

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

"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."

"Overall, it's a good product."

"It's a competent product."

"If I could give any advice to the guys who are developing it, I would suggest them to really look at the enterprise features, such as being able to log what's going on, being able to capture the current state of processing, and being able to recover from error situations. So, there should be a focus on logging, recoverability, and monitoring. We should be able to monitor what's going on, and in case of any issues, we should be able to recover and restart processing and other things. For scalability and performance, I would probably suggest the Pushdown feature so that you can do the transformation directly on the data source. You do not need to do that calculation within the ETL server. For this, you should be aware of the type of data because each database or kind of storage, such as Hadoop, has its own ANSI standard or language, such as SQL. Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM have their own language. Based on the feedback that I have got, its initial setup takes some time. It could perhaps be simpler."

"Performance could be better."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."

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

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"Video training would be a helpful addition."

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

"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."

"Its price and value for money would be okay for our purpose if there were some additional features."

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

"The solution comes free of cost."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

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

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
