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."

"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."

"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."

"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."

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

"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."

"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."

More SSIS pros

Cons

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

"We'd like more integration capabilities."

"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."

"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."

"Options for scaling could be improved."

"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."

"SSIS is not stable."

"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

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

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
