Cons
"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 →

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully.""They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box.""Customization could be better.""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.""Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated).""The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate.""The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
