Comparison Results: Talend has a slight edge over SSIS in this comparison. According to its users, it has better integration options than SSIS.
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"It is also easy to learn and user-friendly. Microsoft is also good in terms of technical support. They have built a large community all over the world."
"The most valuable features of SSIS are that it works with the query language and it can import data from different sources."
"SSIS integrates well with SQL servers and Microsoft products."
"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"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."
"Its compatibility with Microsoft products has been very valuable to our company. It fits well within the architecture."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"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."
"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"We've had issues in terms of the amount of data that is transferred when we are scheduling."
"Sometimes, there are compatibility issues with some features. From time to time, I also face issues when trying to migrate. If I misconfigure things when I use Snapshot, the migration will fail.It can take a long time to migrate huge amounts of data, so it would be nice if that could be faster."
"The performance of SSIS could improve when comparing it to Oracle Database."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
