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

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

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

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

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

"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."

"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."

"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."

"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."

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

"Customization could be better."

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

"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."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."

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

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
