Building impactful organizational KPIs with ease and precision

Stability is rated at 10. One other important aspect I appreciate is that SSAS is included in the base installation of SQL Server. Obviously, it requires installation, but it is readily available, which is a major strength. It's all about setting it up, configuring it, and then using it. If there are additional costs associated with it or separating it as a second product, that would be a disadvantage. The area of improvement is really in education. Microsoft is trying to push everything as a Power BI solution or trying to get people to solve the problems which are solved with SSAS in another space in Power BI, or in Power Pivot, is not enough. There's not enough marketing, conversation, and support around that space. As a result, we end up with people not understanding that you need to build your models correctly, and then they try to model everything inside of Power BI, or another visualization tool, without first building the data model. That leads people to consider alternate solutions because SAP and others argue that their whole thing is in memory, and they disseminate misleading information. Additionally, what would be very helpful is local user group developments, so getting people around the table and teaching them how to use it. That is the biggest problem; it's not the technology itself. The challenge lies in Microsoft withdrawing a lot of the qualifications and watering down its emphasis, leading to a perception that this is supposed to be an elite product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"It's saved time using visualization descriptions."

"The setup is easy to use and understand."

"It has good data integration and good processes."

"The technical support is very good."

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

"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."

"I like that this solution is very scalable, accommodating large datasets and various types of servers. It integrates with most common database servers and allows for customization through coding, including complex scripts. Compared to Alteryx Designer, SSIS offers more customization. Its data cleaning capabilities are highly accurate because we can run tests as data is loaded, ensuring it meets all requirements before reaching the final destination. The ability to write custom SQL and C# code within SSIS packages is its greatest feature."

"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."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Its documentation could be improved."

"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."

"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 also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process."

"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."

"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."

"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."

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

"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."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."

"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
