Works at a financial services firm with 5,001-10,000 employees

Offloads processes on the server side but needs better installation syntax

One area for improvement is the installation process. Another point could be the syntax, as it sometimes involves using syntax names that are not intuitive. For example, to calculate the difference between two dates, the general syntax in SAS is called the data difference or data net function. However, another name is used, such as NF and INK. Without knowledge of SAS programming, it becomes unclear what these functions mean. It is not good to define function names this way.

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.

Cons

"One area for improvement is the installation process."

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

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

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

"The initial setup had issues, and even after using it for about one year, it was still not fixed."

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

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

"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."

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

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

"Customization could be better."

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

More WhereScape RED cons

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."
