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.

A cloud solution that has a lot of connectors, but it should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples
Smaller customers who want to integrate with other systems don't need too much in-house expertise in terms of technology. They can hire consultants who can implement this solution for them, and they don't have to maintain any infrastructure. For a smaller setup, it is a go-to integration system wherein they don't need a lot of expertise or infrastructure. The solution's UI is pretty intuitive and easy. It is good for smaller integration use cases. I think it would be a problem for bigger use cases. Overall, I rate TIBCO Scribe a six out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT."
"The performance and stability are good."
"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools."
"This is one of the best analytic tools for a person or enterprise."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import."
"The simplicity of the solution is great, and the solution also offers excellent integration."
"The most valuable feature of TIBCO Scribe is the connectors available to various products."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we need to connect to AWS to get additional data sources, so we have to install some external LAN and not a regular RDBMS. We need external tools to connect. It would be great if SSIS included these tools. I'd also like some additional features for row indexing and data conversion."
"Connectivity to databases other than Microsoft. This is the Achilles' heel."
"If you run SSIS from the local system, it will lag, but it will work properly if you host on the cloud somewhere."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"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."
"There are a lot of things that Microsoft could improve in relation to SSIS. One major problem we faced was when attempting to move some Excel files to our SQL Server. The Excel provider has a limitation that prevents importing more than 255 columns from a particular Excel file to the database. This restriction posed a significant issue for us."
"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."
"The solution should provide better documentation and scenario-based samples."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
"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."
"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"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."
"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."
"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."
