"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly."
"I have found its most valuable features to be its package management capabilities and the flexibility it offers in designing workflows."
"The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install."
"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."
"Overall, it's a good product."
"With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server."
"It is easily scheduled and integrates well with SQL Server and SQL Server Agent jobs."
"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."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"It hangs a lot of the time."
"Improvement as per customer requirements."
"Generic processes should be used instead of custom code for each table."
"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."
"At one point, we did have to purchase an add-on."
"I have a tool called ZappySys. I need that tool to cut down on the complexity of SSIS. That tool really helps with a quick turnaround. I can do things quickly, and I can do things accurately. I can get better reporting on errors."
"Tuning using this solution requires extensive expertise to improve performance."
"The solution could improve by having quicker release updates."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"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."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Technical support isn't the best."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
