IBM Cloud Pak for Integration vs WhereScape RED comparison

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

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

"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."

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

"It is a stable solution."

"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."

"I like the data vault implementations."

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

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

"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."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."

"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."

"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 initial setup is not easy."

"The pricing can be improved."

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

"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."

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

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

"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."

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

"Technical support isn't the best."

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

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

"Customization could be better."

"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."

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
