"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"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 interface is very user-friendly."
"Built in reports show package execution and messages. Logging can also be customized so only what is needed is logged. There is also an excellent logging replacement called BiXpress that provides both historical and real-time monitoring which is more efficient and much more robust than the built-in logging capabilities. And none of this requires custom coding to make it useful unlike many other ETL tools."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."
"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."
"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"The creation of the measure in the DAC's model could be improved."
"It needs more integration tools, so you can connect to different sources."
"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."
"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"SSIS can improve in handling different data sources like Salesforce connectivity, Oracle Cloud's connectivity, etc."
"We In upgrading SSIS, we encountered challenges fixing SQL Server and performance issues, including problems during a failover in our data warehouse."
"The solution should work on the GPU, graphical processing unit. There should also be piping integration available."
"SSIS should be made a little bit more intuitive and user-friendly because it needs an expert-level person to work on it."
