IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs WhereScape RED comparison

"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."

"It is a stable solution."

"Redirection is a key feature. It helps in managing multiple microservices by centralizing control and access."

"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."

"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."

"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."

"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."

"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."

"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 has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

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

"The initial setup is not easy."

"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."

"The pricing can be improved."

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."

"Enterprise bots are needed to balance products like Kafka and Confluent."

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

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

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

"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."

"Customization could be better."

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

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

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

"It is an expensive solution."

"The solution's pricing model is very flexible."

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."

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

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
