Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions

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. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is performance."

"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."

"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."

"The scalability of SSIS is good."

"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."

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

"The initial setup was easy."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

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

"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."

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."

"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."

"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."

"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

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

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

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

"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."

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

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