Featured Reviews

Mohamed Moustafa - PeerSpot reviewer
General Manager at Quit cement
Offers good scalability, strong stability and seamless integration
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive. It was a major plus. The integration process was smooth. Oracle's security is good and significantly better than that of other solutions I've encountered. Previously, we had separate data interfaces for 15 concrete mixing plants, requiring manual document creation in Oracle. Now, with integrated automation, production has become much easier and more efficient over the past three years.

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

"This solution can maintain a large volume of data and is flexible to what data it can handle. The performance is very good."
"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."
"The return on investment has been very high; the tool has made us tremendously more efficient and saved us a significant amount of money, though I cannot put an exact figure on it."
"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 performance is good, it's easy to use, the visibility is great, and we have found the solution to be very straightforward to set up."
"We highly recommend this solution as it is comparable with all of the major ETL software on the market."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"The performance is good."
"The UI is very user-friendly and I like that the solution has the ability to adapt to multiple data sources."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
 

Cons

"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
"Scalability not on the same level as with IBM Datastage."
"I'm not a fan of SSIS itself."
"The solution should offer more information online for users of SSIS."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."
"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 this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution comes free of cost."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"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."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"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."
"If you don't want to pay a lot of money, you can go for SSIS, as its open-source version is available. When it comes to licensing, SSIS can be expensive."
"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."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
