We performed a comparison between SAP Replication Server and SSIS 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."It's pretty good at handling replication, even under high load. It also provides cross-database replication, for example, from Sybase to Oracle."
"It speeds up the performance in terms of how fast you are able to access the data, look at it, get it reported to you, and send it to somebody. It also reduces the amount of storage."
"We can customize any workflow and we also like the business domain modeling that can be done."
"SAP is renovating different things. We are using external tools to connect as of now. It is going well, and now the new generation integration platforms are going to be pretty easy."
"SAP Replication Server is an application that I consider to be a robust system. It has proven to be highly reliable in my experience."
"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."
"The main value of any Microsoft product is the ease of use. You can achieve more with less time. That's what's beneficial for me. With many competitors, you might need to spend more time coming up with a solution because you have to focus on taking care of the product."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"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."
"The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#."
"The most valuable features for our company are the flexibility and the quick turn around time in producing simple ETL solutions."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"If someone wants to replicate their data from Sybase to a newer technology for data warehousing or other purposes, it would be better if they supported those."
"The private solution is expensive. If you're in a situation where you're paying IBM or AWS or somebody just to host you specifically, you're paying people to run it and you're taking care of all the upgrades."
"Improvement is a never ending story, and HANA is doing some improvements. We are able to adopt that, and we have to do it by integration with HANA. They are very major changes that we need to see."
"There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly."
"Video training would be a helpful addition."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"Improving the login procedure would make our reporting easier on monitoring our ETL processes."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
