Reporting has become streamlined for year-end data checks but integration still needs improvement

When I talk about SQL Server, I am working with SSIS, the data integration tool. I am not entirely sure if I use SSIS as a library of transformations or if I personally work with an extensive library of transformations. I have integrated SSIS with SQL Server Management Studio, and I am very satisfied with the integration as it is integrated well. I am not using the debugging feature in SSIS because the developers would be the ones that would actually utilize it. I have noticed that in 2022, AI functionality has actually been implemented already. I would rate this review overall at a 7.

Pros

"It is fully featured, has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do, is very easy to use and install, is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good."

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

"Customer Service: We have a support contract with Jumpmind. The support resources are readily available and provide expert support to any questions."

"We use this solution for ETL, which includes data summation and cleaning."

"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."

"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."

"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use."

"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."

"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."

"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."

"The workflow features have been very valuable; you can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled, and the workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."

"SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica."

"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."

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

"Another consideration is real-time processing needs. If this is a requirement then I would recommend against using this solution, unless the next version has a new set of features specifically for real-time processing."

"If you run SSIS from the local system, it will lag, but it will work properly if you host on the cloud somewhere."

"Connectivity to databases other than Microsoft. This is the Achilles' heel."

"Microsoft should offer an on-premises support warranty for those using that deployment. They seem to be withdrawing from on-premises options."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"The solution comes free of cost."

"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."
