A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

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

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
"It's a competent product."
"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 simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
 

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"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."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"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."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."
"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."
"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."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
