"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
