Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

SSIS and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator are competing products in the data integration and management category. Although SSIS is often preferred for its simplicity, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is seen as having the upper hand due to its extensive feature set, making it ideal for complex integration projects.

Features:SSIS provides user-friendly data transformation tools, seamless Microsoft product integration, and strong ETL capabilities, making it suitable for straightforward tasks. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, on the other hand, offers advanced capabilities such as API management, data services, and message brokering, making it more suitable for comprehensive enterprise integration tasks.

Room for Improvement:SSIS could improve by expanding its capabilities to handle more complex integration scenarios and offering broader cross-platform support. Additionally, enhancing its support for non-Microsoft products and simplifying its initial setup process could increase its appeal. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator could benefit from streamlining its initial setup process, making its interface more intuitive, and offering more detailed documentation for new users, which would enhance user adoption and reduce the learning curve.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:SSIS enjoys straightforward deployment within Windows environments and robust support from Microsoft, which enhances integration with existing Microsoft infrastructures. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires more initial setup but offers cross-platform deployment flexibility and customization options, with support from an active community and dedicated enterprise services providing tailored assistance.

Pricing and ROI:SSIS typically offers straightforward pricing, often included with SQL Server licenses, reducing costs for Microsoft-centered enterprises and yielding ROI through reduced integration time for simpler tasks. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires a separate investment but justifies its cost with significant ROI due to its adaptability and scalability, making it a strategic investment for long-term complex integration projects.

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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The solution is stable."
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."
"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."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The technical support is very good."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
More SSIS pros
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The stability is excellent."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros
 

Cons

"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"SSIS doesn't have a very good user interface, but if you can work with it, it'll provide you with almost all of the functionality."
"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."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."
More SSIS cons
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"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."
"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."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
"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."
"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."
More SSIS pricing and cost advice
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
