Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

SSIS and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator are competing products in the data integration and management category. Although SSIS is often preferred for its simplicity, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is seen as having the upper hand due to its extensive feature set, making it ideal for complex integration projects.

Features:SSIS provides user-friendly data transformation tools, seamless Microsoft product integration, and strong ETL capabilities, making it suitable for straightforward tasks. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, on the other hand, offers advanced capabilities such as API management, data services, and message brokering, making it more suitable for comprehensive enterprise integration tasks.

Room for Improvement:SSIS could improve by expanding its capabilities to handle more complex integration scenarios and offering broader cross-platform support. Additionally, enhancing its support for non-Microsoft products and simplifying its initial setup process could increase its appeal. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator could benefit from streamlining its initial setup process, making its interface more intuitive, and offering more detailed documentation for new users, which would enhance user adoption and reduce the learning curve.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service:SSIS enjoys straightforward deployment within Windows environments and robust support from Microsoft, which enhances integration with existing Microsoft infrastructures. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires more initial setup but offers cross-platform deployment flexibility and customization options, with support from an active community and dedicated enterprise services providing tailored assistance.

Pricing and ROI:SSIS typically offers straightforward pricing, often included with SQL Server licenses, reducing costs for Microsoft-centered enterprises and yielding ROI through reduced integration time for simpler tasks. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires a separate investment but justifies its cost with significant ROI due to its adaptability and scalability, making it a strategic investment for long-term complex integration projects.

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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We can connect with multiple data sources easily using an external connector in SSIS."
"The setup is easy to use and understand."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"The solution is stable."
"The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
More SSIS pros
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The stability is excellent."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros
 

Cons

"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time."
"SSIS has a difficult learning curve when dealing with complex transformations."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"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."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."
"I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components."
More SSIS cons
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."
"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."
"SSIS is a cheaper option compared to the cost of other ETL tools."
"We have an enterprise license for this solution."
"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."
"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."
"Our license with SSIS is annual."
"This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
More SSIS pricing and cost advice
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
