BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

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

"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and 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."

"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."

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

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

"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data; everything is automated, so two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two, which saves a lot of time."

"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."

"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."

"I would not hesitate to say that if someone has really limited time for a project it can make a difference and you can have the data ready for use in a very short period of time."

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

"I like the data vault implementations."

"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."

"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."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

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

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

"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."

"Its documentation could be improved."

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

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal."

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

"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)."

"Technical support isn't the best."

"As with any product, there are things that can be improved, but most are fairly minor, including things like greater flexibility in ordering job tasks."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

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