Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."This solution is extremely flexible and scalable."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server is stable."
"The integration with different technologies is the most valuable feature."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"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."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"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."
"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."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Their technical support needs improvement."
"IBM InfoSphere Information Server should be more scalable. It should have the option to change the configuration to run on a single, non-multiple node, or multi-threading processing."
"This solution would benefit from the engine being made more lightweight."
"There are certain shortcomings in the cloud side of the solution, where improvements are required."
"Customization could be better."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"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."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"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."
