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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the data vault implementations."
"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."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"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."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code and data structures and that it is a fully integrated environment."
"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."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The stability is excellent."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
 

Cons

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"As with any product, there are things that can be improved, but most are fairly minor, including things like greater flexibility in ordering job tasks."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"I would love to see a GUI interface for defining dependencies between build processes."
"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."
"Customization could be better. When you need to modify or write some custom code, it can get a little messy."
"There are some newer features that haven't been included in the training materials yet so they're a little outdated (although the help documentation is very good)."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."
"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
"ROI is at least 10 times."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
