Relational databases are bound to follow various database integrity rules and constraints that makes the reporting a time consuming process. Data Warehousing has evolved out of the desperate need for easy access to structured storage of quality data that can be used for effective decision making. Data are turned into knowledge and knowledge into plans which are instrumental in profitable business decision making. To serve this purpose, data need to be extracted from various sources, transformed and loaded into the data warehouse which constitute the process of ETL (Extract, Transform and Load). ETL process can be accomplished using various tools both open source and proprietary. In this paper, we provide an empirical study of two ETL tools, an open source Talend Studio and Microsoft SSIS. In spite of the dominance among a vast majority of computer software solutions, open source technologies, as the comparative analysis that this study has undertaken, concludes that open sources tools are yet to evolve in order to be sustainable
