"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Customization could be better."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
