AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making

I usually implement Precisely and Collibra tools for clients to enhance data quality. My main use case involves working with the data catalog of Precisely to integrate data management processes and ensure data governance Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which…

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

"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."

"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."

"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

"The performance and stability are good."

"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."

"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."

"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."

"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools."

"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."

"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."

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

"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."

"SSIS is not stable."

"I would rate it a seven out of ten. Not a ten because of the data extraction that crashed."

"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."

"There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."

"Video training would be a helpful addition, however."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"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."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
