I have been told that many ETL tools used to cost hundred of thousands of dollars. Is this true or were they referring to the ETL and Analysis tools, together? Can anyone provide some actual product names and estimated "costs" that hits these marks?
TIA,

Hi,
I know one. DataStage costs just $180,000 for 3 user license.
|||It's difficult to get license costs for ETL products, as vendors typically offer a range of services / licenses / connectors / training etc.
Forrester Research published a good survey of the state of the market in 2004 - before SSIS was released. You can read a copy on Informatica's site - thanks INFA! http://www.informatica.com/solutions/resource_center/forrester_etl_wave04.pdf
The author of that research, also published an interesting note on SSIS - thanks Phil!: http://www.microsoft.com/sql/technologies/integration/foresterreport.mspx
Prices (and companies) have changed since then. However, SSIS still shows an exceptional price / performance and price / features ratio. (And don't forget that free database in every box.)
