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.

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

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

"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."

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

"The initial setup was easy."

"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."

"This solution is easy to implement, has a wide variety of connectors, has support for Visual Basic, and supports the C language."

"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."

"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

More SSIS pros

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 high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

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

"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."

"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."

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

"We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work."

"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"The solution comes free of cost."

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

"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."

"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."

"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
