We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
The initial setup of this solution is very straightforward. The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install. With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server. 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. 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. It has good data integration and good processes. The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great. The simplicity of the solution is great. The solution also offers excellent integration. | We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable. The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized. R and automation services. |
Cons | |
The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market. Video training would be a helpful addition. 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. There were some issues when we tried to connect it to data storage. It was a connection issue. 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. There was also not enough instructions from Microsoft in regards to this application or this technology, which can easily be improved upon. The interface could use improvement, as well as the administrative tools. Jobs fail from time to time for different reasons. It's not a problem with Microsoft, or SSIS itself. The problems are external, but to find the problems and analyze them it takes too much time. | We would like an easier way to get the product to the cloud. Right now, we have the on-premise version, and we would like to find a way to make it easier to migrate it over to the cloud. I would like more easy-to-implement analytical algorithms. At the moment they include things like forecasts and regressions. They need to add a lot more of these types of things to the product because not everyone is a data scientist. Print capability and trigger-based events. |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft. This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers. t's incredibly cost effective, easy to learn the basics quickly (although like all ETL tools requires the traditional learning curve to get good at) and has an immense user base. | Information Not Available |
