Varun Khandavalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Efficient data integration and good automation with challenging configurability
The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met. The application also lacks capabilities within its terminal commands that are not available in their GUI. It requires a lot of configurability, which could be streamlined for an enterprise application user.

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

"The crawler agents they provide, as well as TetraScience exclusive parsers, allow for specific instruments that we use in our labs with proprietary formats to extract data and put it into more standard formats for various purposes."
"The ingestion engines were pretty good."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"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."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
 

Cons

"While functional during ingestion workflows, the automation toolkit required manual processes."
"The application has a difficult-to-use parsing capability, which requires a lot of reengineering when the use case isn't specifically met."
"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."
"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."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
