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.

"It's a competent product."

"The performance is good."

"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."

"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features. With Talend, we can handle a large volume of data. Talend is usually used to treat a large volume of data, which makes it better than SSIS on the data side. Talend also has a very good Talend Management Console to schedule the jobs and do other things. It can also be easily connected to version control tools such as GitHub or SVN. The last time I used SSIS, it was connected through TSS for the Windows Console version. I am not sure it has been improved or not. If it is not improved, Microsoft should improve it. They should change the product to provide another console."

"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

"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."

"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."

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

"It hangs a lot of the time."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"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."

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

"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"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."
