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."
"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."
"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."
"It's saved time using visualization descriptions."
"The initial setup was easy, and we also used some YouTube videos for guidance."
"The packaging and how it is organized is good for someone that really has never seen ETL before."
"The scalability of SSIS is good."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
 

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"In terms of its performance, it could be better. That could be something that would be easy and welcomed as an upgrade."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"Microsoft's technical support has decreased in quality over the last few years, becoming less responsive and tending to pass problems on instead of solving them."
"I haven't found too many successful scaling options and that's something that could be improved."
"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
"SSIS is fairly well-priced - I would rate it at four out of five."
"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."
"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
