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.

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

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

"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."

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

"The performance and stability are good."

"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."

"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."

"For people that are working in a Microsoft environment with the SQL Server database, it's the most recommended tool."

"The initial setup was easy, and we also used some YouTube videos for guidance."

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

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

More SSIS pros

Cons

"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."

"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."

"SSIS should not be used whatsoever anymore."

"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."

"Again it failed a lot and by a lot I mean every day. The failures were false alarms and caused many sleepless night for our company that I used to work for."

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

"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

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

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

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

"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."

"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."

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

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