Fully-featured, good performance, and easy to use and install

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

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

"SSIS is an easy way to do data integration from various data sources. It doesn't matter whether it's a database, flat files, XML, or Web API. It can talk to the and join them all together."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."

"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."

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

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

"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."

"SSIS is easy to use."

"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."

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."

"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."

"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."

"We'd like more integration capabilities."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"There's no support for it at all. If you haven't undergone the qualifications, you wouldn't even know you should phone someone."

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

"SSIS has room for improvement, mainly because the overall package can be buggy. It often locks up, requiring a restart, which is annoying. However, since it's free, we tolerate these performance issues. I'd like to see better debugging tools in future releases and improvements in API calls; It would be helpful if SSIS had a built-in API engine so we wouldn't have to rely solely on database connections."

"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft 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."

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

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

"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."

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

"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."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."
