We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect 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."It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"The solution is fast and supports Open UI 3.0 certification."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."
"The product's deployment phase is easy."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."
"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 addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"The product should improve its support."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"When I compare Talend and SSIS, Talend provides more features. With Talend, we can handle a large volume of data. Talend is usually used to treat a large volume of data, which makes it better than SSIS on the data side. Talend also has a very good Talend Management Console to schedule the jobs and do other things. It can also be easily connected to version control tools such as GitHub or SVN. The last time I used SSIS, it was connected through TSS for the Windows Console version. I am not sure it has been improved or not. If it is not improved, Microsoft should improve it. They should change the product to provide another console."
"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"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."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
