More SSIS Pros →

Cons
"Informatica Enterprise Data Lake's setup process was complex since it doesn't support a lot of real-time systems."

More Informatica Enterprise Data Lake Cons →

"It hangs a lot of the time.""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.""This solution needs full support for real-time processing.""Improvement as per customer requirements.""We have a stability problem because when something works, it works one time. The next time, it doesn't work.""Performance could be better.""SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched.""SSIS can improve by the minimum code requirements in stored procedures and exporting data is difficult. They could make it easier, it should be as easy as it is to import data."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The licenses attached to the solution are highly priced."

    • More Informatica Enterprise Data Lake Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "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."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."
