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

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

"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 found the initial setup very easy."

"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."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

"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."

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

More WhereScape RED pros

"The stability is excellent."

"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."

Cons

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

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

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

"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."

"Technical support isn't the best."

"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."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

More WhereScape RED cons

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

"The customization can be a bit difficult."

"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."

"You cannot include the validation of XPath."

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

"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."

"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."

"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."

More WSO2 Enterprise Integrator cons

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"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."

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