"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"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."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"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."
