An additional influencing factor in our decision to purchase RED is their licensing model. The other products we evaluated were all CPU-based licensing. The license quotes came in very high for the vendor-estimated CPU needs for our existing data warehouse; this did not include future expansion as our warehouse environment should grow as we add more subject areas.

WhereScape RED licensing is based on developer seat. This is great for us. We purchased a four-seat license and we do not need to worry about architecting our warehouse around CPU licensing restrictions. We can size our Warehousing databases to meet the performance needs of our batch processing and user queries. We can also build and support a lot with four developers.

Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive.

Because WS builds native SQL code you don't have to worry about vendor lock-in as with other solutions. If you decide to walk away from WS you still have a working data warehouse environment. The only thing you would need to do is schedule the load procedures with another scheduling tool. Licensing negotiations are pretty straightforward as the development IDE is just a seat license model. They are very flexible in how they approach licensing.

WhereScape was very fair during pricing and licensing. We were an early adopter of the tool in the US almost 6 years ago, and WhereScape offered very attractive pricing compared to comparable/competitive offerings from other vendors.

The product is much less expensive than traditional ETL tools. Licensing is very simple to understand.
