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

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

"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."

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

"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 them and join them all together."

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

"It has the ability to be deployed into the cloud through Data Factory, and run completely as a software as a service in the cloud."

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

"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."

"The interface is very user-friendly."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is performance."

"Overall, I think for what this solution does, it's pretty much all there."

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 solution could improve by having quicker release updates."

"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."

"I'm not a fan of SSIS itself."

"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"I haven't found too many successful scaling options and that's something that could be improved."

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

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"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 have an enterprise license for this solution."

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

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

"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."
