Lead Database Administrator at a insurance company with 201-500 employees

Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints

I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."

"It's a competent product."

"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."

"Stability is rated at 10."

"SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code."

"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."

"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."

"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."

"It is easy to set up the product."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."

"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."

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

"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."

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

"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"We'd like more integration capabilities."

"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."

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