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.

Manager, Data Operations at a manufacturing company with 5,001-10,000 employees

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 is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."

"The solution is stable."

"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."

"The scalability of SSIS is good."

"Compatibility with the rest of Microsoft BI stack"

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

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

"Overall, it works well. The performance is good."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"Improvement as per customer requirements."

"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."

"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features."

"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."

"Options for scaling could be improved."

"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 UI could use refinement."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The solution comes free of cost."
