We performed a comparison between Spring Cloud Data Flow, SSIS, and Toad Data Point based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable feature is real-time streaming."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like."
"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure."
"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."
"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."
"The performance is good."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required."
"Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving."
"Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications."
"The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
