Chief Manager at a insurance company with 10,001+ employees

A stable and scalable tool with data handling capabilities and an amazing technical support

I am from the data visualization team and used SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. This year, my team has stopped the use of SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. We have a separate team that uses SAS Data Integration Server since they belong to the data management team. I recommend the solution to those organizations that have a very large scale of data to handle so that they can utilize the solution's data handling capabilities. Organizations can go with the solution's on-premises or cloud version. Since the cost of the on-premises version of the solution is huge, I recommend businesses go with the cloud version. I rate the overall product between seven to eight out of ten.

BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"The tool supports multiple target update methods."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."

"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."

"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"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."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"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."

"Technical support isn't the best."

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
