Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies

The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming. Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.

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

"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."

"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."

"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."

"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."

"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."

"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."

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

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

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

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."

"There is room for improvement in query tuning."

"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."

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

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

"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 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."

"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 ."

"Technical support isn't the best."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"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."
