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.

BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

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.

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. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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 like the data vault implementations."

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

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

"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."

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

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

More WhereScape RED pros

"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."

"The stability is excellent."

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

"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."

"The learning curve for this solution is very good."

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

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

Cons

"Customization could be better."

"Technical support isn't the best."

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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."

"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."

"The integration capabilities need to be improved."

"They should release upgrades more frequently."

"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."

"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"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."

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

"It is a low-cost solution."

"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."

"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."
