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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs

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. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."

"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."

"The performance is good."

"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."

"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."

"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."

"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

"Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."

More SSIS pros

"The installation process is easy."

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

"It was mostly easy to set up the product."

"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."

"The solution basically conforms to our standards."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

"The customer service executives are very responsive."

"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."

"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."

"This solution needs full support for real-time processing."

"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."

"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."

"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."

"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."

More SSIS cons

"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."

"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."

"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."

"The solution comes free of cost."

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."

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."

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
