Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable.""We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else.""The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process.""It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources.""It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."

Cons
"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions.""To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.""The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point.""FME's price needs improvement for the African market.""Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."

More JumpMind SymmetricDS Cons →

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "We used the standard licensing for our use of FME. The cost was approximately €15,000 annually. We always welcome less expensive solutions, if the solution could be less expensive it would be helpful."
  • "The product's price is reasonable."
  • "FME Server used to cost £10,000; now it can cost over £100,000."

    Overview

    FME is the data integration platform with the best support for spatial data. Run workflows on the desktop or deploy them in a server or cloud environment.

    JumpMind SymmetricDS is a powerful data replication software that provides synchronization software solutions for both databases and filesystems. This software is platform-independent and web-enabled as well as database agnostic. JumpMind SymmetricDS creates prompt bi-directional data replication while scaling to a large amount of nodes and working in close to real time across both WAN and LAN networks. This allows companies to integrate data using the feature for continuous change data capture.

    This data replication software allows companies with limited network bandwidth or bad connectivity to benefit from excellent cloud conditions. The greatest benefit of JumpMind SymmetricDS is its vast integration across databases, streaming platforms, and data warehouses. Some of the relational databases where this data replication software can be used include Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Sybase, Informix, Ingres, Tiber, and VoltDB. NoSQL databases like MongoDB, Apache Cassandra, and Azure Cosmos are also compatible with the JumpMind SymmetricDS data replication software. The data warehouses that are compatible with this software include Teradata, SAP HANA, Azure-SQL server by Microsoft, BigQuery, Amazon Redshift, Pivotal Greenplum, and Snowflake data warehouse. Providing coverage of so many databases and warehouses allows broad outreach of the JumpMind SymmetricDS across many different companies and users.
