Overall Satisfaction with Task Factory

We use Task Factory on the BI team to help with data connectors in SSIS and with tracking our nightly jobs. This solves writing custom code to handle certain data connectors.
  • Job management
  • Data Connectors
  • Easy to Use
  • It is hard to justify keeping a license when your platforms are adding the same functionality that Task Factory provides. This must keep ahead of software providers to justify the use.
  • That is really hard to calculate and I don't think it is worth my time to do so for this survey :)
This is definitely a time saver, but more and more components are being added natively all the time by MS so its value is decreasing. Overall though this has saved us probably 400 hours.
I haven't participated in any other evaluations because we had Task Factory when I started here.
We use Task Factory for monitoring our nightly jobs and adding functionality to SSIS in the form of custom connectors. Task Factory does a good job in these areas.
