Executive SummaryUpdated on Dec 19, 2024

WhereScape RED and WSO2 Enterprise Integrator compete in the data integration and automation category. WhereScape RED seems to have the upper hand in ETL automation and documentation, whereas WSO2 is advantageous for integration and API management.

Features: WhereScape RED has robust features for automating data warehouse tasks, impact analysis, and generating comprehensive documentation. Its support for multiple methodologies and powerful metadata capabilities significantly streamline ETL processes. On the other hand, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator shines in integration and transformation capabilities, aided by numerous connectors, API management tools, and its adaptability as an open-source solution.

Room for Improvement: WhereScape RED faces challenges with performance, storage efficiency, and limited support for change data capture, alongside the need for better separation of staging processes. Conversely, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator requires enhancements in configuration flexibility, customization, pricing, and the maturity of its libraries, with users noting that its setup can become complex.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: WhereScape RED facilitates deployment across varied environments and is well-regarded for its responsive and knowledgeable customer support. Although primarily used in on-premises settings, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator also receives praise for its customer service, albeit with noted opportunities for improvement in technical support post-purchase.

Pricing and ROI: WhereScape RED offers a flexible seat license model, making it competitively priced for organizations aiming for cost-effective ETL automation with a quick ROI. Meanwhile, WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, while available in an open-source version, is perceived as costly, especially for small businesses seeking enterprise functionality, though its pricing is justified by comprehensive integration capabilities.

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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality

Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"I would not hesitate to say that if someone has really limited time for a project it can make a difference and you can have the data ready for use in a very short period of time."

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

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

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."

"The product takes on much of the painful, time-consuming, manual and repetitive tasks, allowing you to focus on meeting business requirements."

"We are now 2.5 years into using WhereScape and all warehouse code we have converted from our old tool to WhereScape has performed faster; anywhere from 20-80% reduction in processing time."

"I like the data vault implementations."

More WhereScape RED pros

"The productivity is the most valuable feature; it is very easy to write remediations."

"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."

"It's a consolidated product; it works and it does its job pretty well."

"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."

"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."

"It has improved our time management because development is quicker."

"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."

"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

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

"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."

"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 only other thing I would note is that the IDE isn’t as intuitive as I would like."

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

"Technical support isn't the best. They seem to be more money-oriented than customer-oriented. We found that after the purchase, assistance and support really dropped off."

More WhereScape RED cons

"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."

"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."

"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."

"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."

"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."

"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
