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."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"It is easy to set up the product."
"Despite the complexity when dealing with advanced transformations, it is straightforward for simple data movements, and the performance is excellent."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The return on investment has been very high; the tool has made us tremendously more efficient and saved us a significant amount of money, though I cannot put an exact figure on it."
"The packaging and how it is organized is good for someone that really has never seen ETL before."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
 

Cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"It should have other programming languages supported as well from a scripting perspective. Currently, only C# and VB.NET are supported, which limits it to .NET. It should have Java support as well."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"Another consideration is real-time processing needs. If this is a requirement then I would recommend against using this solution, unless the next version has a new set of features specifically for real-time processing."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
"The solution comes free of cost."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"People have to opt for a perpetual-based licensing model."
