SolarWinds Task Factory

“Liked how much it cuts development time and reduces package complexity in SSIS projects. Noted no major drawbacks with the product.”

“Liked the easy SFTP and PGP encryption enhancements for file handling. Found web API support and JSON and XML handling in need of improvement.”

“Liked the drag-and-drop components that replace custom scripts. Found the documentation thin and some components missing features that would be expected.”

“Liked how much time it saves and the improved quality of output. Found the lack of an MSI installer inconvenient and hit a null-date bug the vendor acknowledged.”

“Liked the faster delivery and support for REST and flexible Excel sources. Found configuration tabs slow to respond and the documentation in need of more depth.”

“Liked the server-based licensing and responsive support and sales teams. Found a recurring note pushing an edition upgrade, with drawbacks otherwise unclear.”

“Liked extracting email data and attachments and the Upsert component for simpler loads. Found the Excel tools lack xls support and wanted more demo use cases.”

“Liked the broad data access, minimal training needed, and good value. Found some controls missing on older SQL Server versions and some components slow.”

“Liked the time saved on migrations and useful tasks beyond Upsert. Found that testing environments require purchasing a second license.”

“Liked that non-coders can work with REST APIs and the strong connectors. Found REST error handling in need of work and wanted a Google Analytics connector.”

“Liked the significant time saved compared with built-in or script tasks. Found the documentation sparse, with few real-world examples to follow.”

“Liked automating Salesforce loads and Secure FTP working well after a patch. Found some Oracle data type issues, though mostly caused by SSIS itself.”

“Liked how it handles tasks beyond standard Microsoft transforms. Found account management in the customer portal made adding users slow.”

“Liked the integration with Visual Studio and stable Salesforce components. Found that not all SOQL query syntax is supported by the connector.”

“Liked the easy Salesforce connectors and useful Upsert destination. Found troubleshooting and logging detail limited and wanted more information when errors occur.”

“Liked the wide range of components, flexible configuration, and active community. Found the learning curve steep and wanted training included with the product.”
