Maintaining the solution and contacting its support team is easy
We have a consolidated data warehouse. We use an SSIS tool as a pipeline to fetch the data from multiple sources such as Excel, CSV, Oracle database, or APIs. Further, we put the data into the SSIS database. We are using the solution for ETL purposes Previously, it took a lot of work to connect…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"It is easy to set up the product."
"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"The performance and stability are good."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The stability is excellent."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
 

Cons

"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."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."
"Performance could be better."
"There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."
"We'd like more integration capabilities."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"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."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"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."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"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."
"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."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"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."
