Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

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 controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code and data structures and that it is a fully integrated environment."
"Embedding of standards and design patterns into the tool yields substantial quality and consistency gains."
"I would not hesitate to say that if someone has really limited time for a project it can make a difference and you can have the data ready for use in a very short period of time."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"Documentation has excellent potential as it provides the capability to generate data lineage and a complete set of rich documentation and output in multiple formats."
"ROI has been huge; we have a very large healthcare data warehouse and the amount of ETL code we have produced and continue to maintain would not be possible without a tool as cost effective as RED."
"During the POC myself and one WS resource were able to deliver a project in 3 days that had been in development by other resources for 6 months and still hadn't been delivered."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
 

Cons

"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."
"I don't think the solution is very stable. Even though I like this tool numerous bugs made it difficult and unreliable."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no license. The solution is free."
"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."
"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
