Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 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."

More SAP Replication Server Pros →

"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information.""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.""The most valuable features of this solution are the fast insert and fuzzy logic matching.""The solution is stable.""It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs.""The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install.""The most valuables features are the relatively short learning curve, and the automation capabilities provided through the BIML add-in for SSDT.""The product's deployment phase is easy."

More SSIS Pros →

"I found the initial setup very easy.""Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features.""Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied.""Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions.""The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code.""Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely.""WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time.""Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

More WhereScape RED Pros →

Cons
"I would like to see it become mobile-friendly.""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.""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.""There is room for improvement in terms of pricing and faster support."

More SAP Replication Server Cons →

"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available.""It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources.""I would like to see more standard components out of the box, such as SFTP, and Data Compression components.""SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it.""It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life.""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.""We have issues with SSIS connectors while extracting data from Excel sources.""At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."

More SSIS Cons →

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application.""Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved.""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it.""Technical support isn't the best.""They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated).""Customization could be better."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's a very expensive solution."
  • "You can pick one of the hosted cloud services as opposed to owning it and doing it yourself. Your cost of ownership on the hardware, the data storage, and the maintenance all go down. It depends on what service you use."
  • More SAP Replication Server 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."
  • More SSIS Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
  • "ROI is at least 10 times."
  • "Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
  • "Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

    Technology has made it easier for businesses to organize and manipulate data to get a clearer picture of what’s going on with their business. Notably, ETL tools have made managing huge amounts of data significantly easier and faster, boosting many organizations’ business intelligence operations There are many third-party vendors offering ETL solutions, but two of the most popular are PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS (SQL Server Integration Services). Each technology has its advantages but there are also similarities on how they carry out the extract-transform-load processes and only differ in terminologies. If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections.
