"The solution offers very good integration capabilities."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"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."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."

"Some of the jobs that are built within Data Services require local files, and during initial deployment, those local files cannot be transported between machines simply because of security issues."
"The solution should offer more machine learning and automation."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The solution could improve the overall features. There is a lot that can be done in the solution, therefor there are areas where it can improve. Additionally, there is a need to make it easier for one to create connections to other non-SAP systems. The flexibility to connect to other non-SAP systems is needed."
"The migration of the solution between different environments is quite complex."
"Data Services SAP is lacking in sources and target databases compared to Informatica. SAP Data Services should have more connectivity."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"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."
"Customization could be better."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"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."
