A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Building impactful organizational KPIs with ease and precision
Stability is rated at 10. One other important aspect I appreciate is that SSAS is included in the base installation of SQL Server. Obviously, it requires installation, but it is readily available, which is a major strength. It's all about setting it up, configuring it, and then using it. If there are additional costs associated with it or separating it as a second product, that would be a disadvantage. The area of improvement is really in education. Microsoft is trying to push everything as a Power BI solution or trying to get people to solve the problems which are solved with SSAS in another space in Power BI, or in Power Pivot, is not enough. There's not enough marketing, conversation, and support around that space. As a result, we end up with people not understanding that you need to build your models correctly, and then they try to model everything inside of Power BI, or another visualization tool, without first building the data model. That leads people to consider alternate solutions because SAP and others argue that their whole thing is in memory, and they disseminate misleading information. Additionally, what would be very helpful is local user group developments, so getting people around the table and teaching them how to use it. That is the biggest problem; it's not the technology itself. The challenge lies in Microsoft withdrawing a lot of the qualifications and watering down its emphasis, leading to a perception that this is supposed to be an elite product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
 

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
"Performance could be better."
"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."
"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."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
