Provides wealth of pre-defined, customizable components, and descriptive logging for errors
* Familiar, intuitive GUI (Eclipse plug-in) coming from a Java development background. * In-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation. * Responsive support through forums, even directly from Clover staff. * Wealth of pre-defined components. * All components are customizable. * Descriptive logging, especially for error messages. * Ease of install/light footprint.
Albert Lacerda - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient data processing and seamless cloud integration have been achieved through powerful data pipelines
One of the best aspects of SSIS ( /products/ssis-reviews ) is that it is built into Microsoft SQL Server ( /products/sql-server-reviews ), so there are no additional costs involved. Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent. I can process 1.2 million lines of data in a few minutes, even when running over a VPN connection.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
 

Cons

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"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."
"The security could be improved, as it is more important in our context."
"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"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."

"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"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."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
