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.

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.

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."

"In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc."

"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."

"The debugging capabilities are great, particularly during data flow execution. You can look into the data and see what's going on in the pipeline."

"Overall, it's a good product."

"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."

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

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."

"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."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features. With Talend, we can handle a large volume of data. Talend is usually used to treat a large volume of data, which makes it better than SSIS on the data side. Talend also has a very good Talend Management Console to schedule the jobs and do other things. It can also be easily connected to version control tools such as GitHub or SVN. The last time I used SSIS, it was connected through TSS for the Windows Console version. I am not sure it has been improved or not. If it is not improved, Microsoft should improve it. They should change the product to provide another console."

"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."

"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."

"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc. Also, handling of the different data types will be a big challenge here; so expecting improvement in these areas."

"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."

"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"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."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

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

"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."

"The solution comes free of cost."

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

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

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