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

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

"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."

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

"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."

"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."

"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."

"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."

"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."

"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."

"Overall, it's a good product."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"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."

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

"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."

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

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

"There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue."

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

"SSIS is not stable."

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

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."
