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

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

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

"Customization could be better."

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

"Technical support isn't the best."

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

More WhereScape RED cons
