We performed a comparison between SAP Data Services 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."The most valuable feature of SAP Data Services is the integration with data sources."
"We can extract data at a table level, extract data at the ETL level, and we can extract data at an ODP level."
"The initial setup is not complex."
"Data Services' table comparison mechanism is very powerful. It's pretty hard to find a similar feature in other solutions."
"The fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"The reporting on the data, even from third-party software, is very good."
"The solution is easy to use since it's a graphical tool. It also requires only low-level coding."
"The most valuable feature is the logging capability."
"It has good data integration and good processes."
"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 most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."
"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."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"It's already very user-friendly and has a good dashboard."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"It is easy to set up. The deployment is also very quick."
"We encounter challenges while exporting implemented rules, such as those applied to objects like the material master, into a format like Excel for documentation and further analysis."
"At the integration level, there could be certain set of improvement to connect to various other systems."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"The skillset of data engineers matters a bit to use all the functionality of this solution. Otherwise, the delivery speed won't be faster."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"Newer feature integration is lagging behind the company acquisitions and the product could do more to service a broader range of devices."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."
"Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good."
"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."
"It would be nice if you could run SSIS on other environments besides Windows."
"It's difficult to refactor SSIS. It gets cumbersome to reuse the solution."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market."
"Options for scaling could be improved."
