COZYROC vs. SolarWinds Task Factory

COZYROC is great if you have a number of sources or destinations where vanilla SSIS either does not provide connectors, they are difficult to work with, or they are not fully featured. SFTP is a prime example. Almost any web service is another. It also includes some nice helper components, such as script task plus. This speeds up the development of script tasks by making the configuration easier. That said, it is not a silver bullet for all your SSIS woes. I've found that none of the SSIS 3rd party components spans all my needs and generally end up running a couple of different ones to cover all the functionality required.

Since I started working with this great tool all data analysis programs have been running effectively. Implementation of projects and tasks have been effective and reliable. Data collected from each department gives us working plan on better management of various programs. The Dimension Merge SCD Transform helps us to load large volumes of data within a short period of time.

• Dynamic SOQL is very advantageous with Salesforce source task.
• Connecting to SharePoint is simple and seamless.
• Script Component Plus is also a very good task that we can do a lot through, that what we can't do with Script Task.

• The Slowly Changing Dimension Component saves us a huge amount if time compared to the native SSIS component.
• JSON Transform is really useful to convert record and send it to rest API.
• The advanced derived columns allow us to use really cool functions that are not available in the regular transforms.

• It was built by Pragmatic Works who sold it to SentryOne and now Solar Winds, concerned about future support. SolarWinds is discontinuing support for related products such as BiXpress.
• Had issues with connecting to certain versions of SQL Server - would fail when deploying one package - had to deploy the entire solutions.
• Occasional random failures observed with the Filter tranform.

Task Factory has become a key product for our use of doing ETL work in SSIS. Their custom SSIS components allow us to work simply on the data engineering side of things. We can ignore the lower level work needed to connect to disparate data sources. This allows us to work faster and provide more value to the business

Easy to use and easy to implement into ETL solutions with Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.

Their support is fast and responsive. Their devs work on resolving the issues quickly. We usually will have a release of a fix within a few days.

Overall, the best vendor we currently have on the data side of the house. No issues, issues are resolved very quickly and upgrades go without any issues.

Overall it went smoothly. Had a couple of gotchas with licensing and upgrading but nothing that really stopped us.

We inherited [COZYROC] from other teams [a] long time ago. Since then It's been easy to develop and easy to maintain.

I've not found too many tools to bolt onto SSIS that encompass what you get with Task Factory. I have used some Enterprise ETL tools like Dell's Boomi, but did not find it to be very intuitive. Task Factory does not leave you guessing how to use its components. Additionally, their support is very responsive and helpful.

Incentivized

• It is my belie that I have thrown away $3.7k

• We were able to support our developers with Task Factory features and reduce the development time by 40%.
• Recently Task Factory has changed their pricing module and it seems to be pretty costly for our process. Our business team has started to evaluate whether this is worth it going forward.
