We performed a comparison between Mule Anypoint Platform and SSIS based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The tool is very capable and offers a high performance. The tool supports batch processing and ETL processing."
"The product is very user-friendly."
"It's easy to develop APIs."
"The most valuable features for us are flexibility, all the features related to connectivity with multiple connectors to the business, and the flexibility of on-premises and cloud deployments."
"The flexibility has been great overall."
"This is the easiest and best tool available."
"Mule Anypoint Platform is our preferred platform for integration."
"API management."
"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."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"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."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is its ease of use. It is easier to use than other applications."
"It's something I needed for bulk imports. I'm not a big fan of it, but I haven't seen anything better."
"The workflow features have been very valuable. You can have automated workflows and all the steps are controlled. The workflow functionality of integration services is excellent."
"Price-wise, it is a good product since it is reasonably priced...Mule Anypoint Platform can get too complex for non-technical people."
"It should give better control over account management."
"The cost of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required, especially when compared to other tools, like Dell Boomi or Oracle."
"The pricing can be a little bit less."
"The solution is very expensive. They need to work on the pricing."
"The stability could be better."
"Although the solution's proxy design and process are good, it faces connecting issues because it lacks data integration."
"What I hear from my customers is that it's very expensive compared to the cost of other integration suites. The cost keeps increasing. MuleSoft should come up with customization factors by using a different way of getting the cost-related stuff to attract customers. That is, they should come up with some cost optimizations."
"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."
"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."
"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."
"I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"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."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"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."
