Pros
"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data.""Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation.""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.""Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish.""I found the initial setup very easy.""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.""The tool supports multiple target update methods.""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."

Cons
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence.""Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"Customization could be better.""The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate.""Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated).""It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded .""Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved.""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."
