VP/Manager, Data Analytics & Intelligence at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees

Easy to scale, useful auto-formatting, and powerful features

Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently.

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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"I like the data vault implementations."

"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."

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

"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."

"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

Cons

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"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 ."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of this product is reasonable."

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

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

"ROI is at least 10 times."

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