Albert Lacerda - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient data processing and seamless cloud integration have been achieved through powerful data pipelines
One of the best aspects of SSIS ( /products/ssis-reviews ) is that it is built into Microsoft SQL Server ( /products/sql-server-reviews ), so there are no additional costs involved. Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent. I can process 1.2 million lines of data in a few minutes, even when running over a VPN connection.

A product that is easy to install and offers good stability to users
The API part of the solution is an area in the solution where improvements are made since I see that TIBCO is currently trying to revamp its tool by focusing more on redesigning it. There was a tool called Mashery, which is an API management tool that was acquired by TIBCO. TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex. I think in the UK, one of the major telecom providers for whom I had done the infrastructure setup uses TIBCO Cloud Integration. Basically, TIBCO Cloud Integration is a bit difficult to install and manage the platform, but I feel there are improvements in the tool's latest version, especially on the API management side. Instead of moving to the higher version and converting the older version of TIBCO Cloud Integration or the legacy platform covered under TIBCO, they still use it because the architecture is completely different, and the components that the product has are completely different from what the new version of the product offers, making it one of the major reasons why TIBCO is coming up with a new version of the product that will be released in the upcoming year. The legacy platform of TIBCO will run on the cloud directly. TIBCO plans to develop a unified tool that is supported on the cloud and in an on-premises environment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"It's a competent product."
"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."
"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"SSIS is easy to use."
"The technical support is very good."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"I am really impressed by TIBCO's integration of any level of complexity."
"I like that it is a very good integration tool with many other things. TIBCO is very good for cloud integration"
 

Cons

"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."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"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."
"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
"Integrations could be better. Although integration is good, we have faced some block issues."
"The deployment was rather complicated."
"TIBCO Cloud Integration is not a user-friendly tool when it comes to the installation phase or for maintaining the systems since its architecture is really complex."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"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."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"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."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"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."
"We don't pay for a license."
