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

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

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

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

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."

"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."

"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."

More WhereScape RED pros

"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."

"The installation process is easy."

"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."

"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 solution's customer service is good."

"The stability is excellent."

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

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

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator pros

Cons

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

"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."

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

"Technical support isn't the best."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"Customization could be better."

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

"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."

More WhereScape RED cons

"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."

"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."

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

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

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"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."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"It is a low-cost solution."

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

"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."

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

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