AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making

I usually implement Precisely and Collibra tools for clients to enhance data quality. My main use case involves working with the data catalog of Precisely to integrate data management processes and ensure data governance Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which…

Robust and does a good job of handling overload conditions

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. I believe there are ways to build a model and set variables so that it can be a generic process. In my next system, I would like to have a generic process that would handle all the logging and processing in a model that can be modified and enhanced as the need for a better process, or different statistics to be logged is discovered. I'd want this in a way that the model can be changed and all the processes, with their unique parameters, could all be changed with the model upgraded. I believe they should add some features that help to create the code using a model. This would allow for continuous improvement of the model uses and easy replication of all the different programs that use the model.

"The data reader is the most valuable feature."

"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

"It's a competent product."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."

"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."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."

"There is connectivity with other databases, however, this is the most significant issue that has to be addressed."

"SSIS is not stable."

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

"Improvement as per customer requirements."

"It hangs a lot of the time."

"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."

"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."

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

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

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

"It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"We purchased the standard edition of SQL Server and SSIS came with it free of charge."
