"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"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."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"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."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Customization could be better."
