Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"We like that this solution includes a developer edition, free of charge, to allow for training."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"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."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"The performance is good."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"The technical support is very good."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"This solution allows us to integrate data from across all client departments, for effective reporting via a single dashboard."
"One of the main features is integrated statistical analysis."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"The most valuable feature is the map visuals that help us connect to the geo-specialized data which is more advanced than other solutions."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"It's scalable."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"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."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"When it comes to data manipulation, there are features which are good, but one of the features which has really been missing in Spotfire is an offline ability for data manipulation."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
"We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud."
"The number of charts available out of the box in Spotfire can be enhanced."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"We would like to see some development in the visualization aspect of this solution, as they can currently only be configured in the cloud, which limits us to one endpoint. It would be helpful if this could be integrated with other tools."
