We performed a comparison between SSIS and Talend Data Management Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data Flows are the main component we use. These can range from a simple source to sink ETL, to many source to many sink dataflows."
"It is easy to set up the product."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration."
"The performance is good."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"It is easy to set up the solution."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"Performance could be better."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"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."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."

There are two products I know about
* TimeXtender : Microsoft based, Transformation logic is quiet good and can easily be extended with T-SQL , Has a semantic layer that generates metat data for cubes . price approx 40K$, works with tables
. Attunity (Bought by Qlik) : technology agnostic , nice web interface , expensive > 100K€. Works with transaction logs
There are many other pure ETL tools
* ERWIN has a nice one ,
Depends upon the technologies being used. If you're using Oracle for both OLTP and OLAP then you'll get a lot of value from an Oracle solution.
The other question is how up to date do you want your OLAP DB to be? Goldengate is a good answer if you're looking to minimize latency, but it can be expensive. ODI is less expensive but better suited to bulkier data sets. If an Oracle product wasn't the option I'd probably consider something like Informatica.

As someone mentioned, if you're purely Oracle shop and staying that way then there's value with prioritizing Oracle tools. However, let me contrast that with this caveat...
Consider expectations for tool and vendor longevity. Oracle has a long history of retiring and/or replacing tools leaving customers in the cold with prior versions/tools (I've been burned multiple times by Oracle product retirements or replacements including OWB, Oracle Designer2k, Oracle Express, Oracle OEDW, their purchase of Sagent ETL which as later abandoned).
But I would also consider these questions and relative prioritization:
What is your organization's plans for moving to other database technologies?
Where is your org going with on-prem versus cloud solutions? How important are PaaS versus IaaS solutions?
Where is your current staff's expertise?
Prioritize mature over immature tools.
How many sources do you have? What are their technologies and does the integration tool support them?
Is it just moving data from a single ERP such as Oracle EBS to Olap? When you say Olap what do you mean by that? Are you talking Oracle Olap product or something else? That makes a really big difference of course - if your ETL tool doesn't support your source(s) and target(s) then it shouldn't be considered.
Given the industry's trajectory, I myself would highly prioritize PaaS solutions over others.
What is the OLAP that you are using? Hosted in Cloud or on-premise?
The target DB should have its tool to extract data.
Pentaho is a really nice tool if opensource is the only option.
Please think about issues such as upgrade and disaster in the future. These operations are very easy in Pentaho.
I can only suggest one thing for replication and that is Qlik. (ex-Attunity).
Hi Karoly, Thanks for your input. community: forums.pentaho.com is not allowing new registrations for new users. I guess they accept queries from customers only and not from any one. Do you know any other forum, community, SMEs contacts who can help on queries?
