Manager Data Warehousing at a university with 10,001+ employees

The architecture is based on metadata and documentation is automated.

I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes. RED provides a spreadsheet like interface for defining the dependencies between builds. Once the dependencies are defined, RED can produce a nice dependency diagram to give a visualization of the dependency tree. It would be easier to define complex dependency relationships if the dependency diagram were interactive. Our legacy ETL tool provided this GUI dependency definition via a drag and drop diagram which was very useful. The solution provided by WhereScape does work, and the dependency diagrams generated are helpful. It would just be nice to have the ability to define dependencies via a diagram, since dependencies relationships are much easier to understand via a diagram.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"No dependence on native language and ease of use."

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."

"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."

"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."

"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"I found the initial setup very easy."

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

"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."

"I like the data vault implementations."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."

"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."

"Its documentation could be improved."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

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

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."

"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."

"Technical support isn't the best."

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

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
