It is stable and we did not have any issues with initial setup. I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version to support the wide range of sources available.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"For data transfers and ETLs on Windows, this is a great product."

"We have been using it for ETL, it is very robust and easy to use."

"This product is extremely useful and better than building an in-house solution."

"There were no concerns with the stability. This product is very good from a stability perspective."

"Web based interface."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code and data structures and that it is a fully integrated environment."

"Documentation has excellent potential as it provides the capability to generate data lineage and a complete set of rich documentation and output in multiple formats."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

"Two months into the project we are currently 50% under budget due to how quickly it's possible to develop large-scale solutions in WhereScape."

"During the POC myself and one WS resource were able to deliver a project in 3 days that had been in development by other resources for 6 months and still hadn't been delivered."

"The product takes on much of the painful, time-consuming, manual and repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on meeting business requirements."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."

Cons

"I am not sure if there are various connectors available in the recent version of Pervasive DI to support the wide range of sources available (e.g., big data, cloud, EME)."

"The areas which I think need to be improved are the transform and load steps."

"Technical support is an area which can definitely improve."

"At the moment, we can't even use it for 1, since it keeps failing in our QA testing."

"The only other thing I would note is that the IDE isn’t as intuitive as I would like."

"I don't think the solution is very stable. Even though I like this tool numerous bugs made it difficult and unreliable."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."

"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
