We performed a comparison between SAS Access, SSIS, and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The most valuable part of SAS/ACCESS is what it is made for: connecting to remote systems that are not part of your physical SAS environment."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the ease of access to the data in those databases."
"The most valuable feature is you have native access to the external databases."
"The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"The performance is good."
"The interface is very user-friendly."
"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."
"SSIS' most valuable feature is its reporting services."
"The technical support is very good."
"SSIS' best feature is SFTP connectivity."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"The comprehensiveness and depth of Integration Servers' connectors to packaged apps and custom apps is unlimited. They have a connector for everything. If they don't, you can build it yourself. Or oftentimes, if there is value for other customers as well, you can talk with webMethods about creating a new adapter for you."
"It integrates well with various servers."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Broker and UM are the best features."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner."
"I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."
"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted."
"It's a legacy tool, that is nearing the end of its useful life."
"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."
"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."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"This is a great solution and the vendor could improve the marketing of the solution to be able to reach more clients."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"The orchestration is not as good as it should be."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"We got the product via a reseller, and the support from the reseller has been less than desirable."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
