Pros

More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] Pros →

"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.""In SSIS, the scope is not only to handle ETL challenges, but it will allow us to do so many other tasks, such as DBA activities, scripting, calling any .exe or scripts, etc.""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.""I have used most of the standard SQL features, but the ones that stand out are the Data Flows and Bulk Import.""I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows.""The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations.""The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#.""Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."

Cons
"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there.""The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."

More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] Cons →

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues.""I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process.""The debugging could be improved because when it came to solving the errors that I've experienced in the past, I've had to look at the documentation for more information.""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.""We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage.""Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good.""I would like to see better technical documentation because many times information is missing.""It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."
  • "I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."
  • More AWS Data Pipeline [EOL] 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."

    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.
