"Solid product and easy to adapt"
What do you dislike about timextender?
Some features are hidden. I mean I have to search for it. By example if you want to disconnect a source from the ODX, you'll have to click on the ODX.
Visual way of work in TimeXtender makes it easier to understand and view created logic than through code. Automatic documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As a new user, it is a bit complicated to learn and start working with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
TimeXtender ODX storage, and data warehouse are very easy to schedule and execute using Azure Data Factory for data movement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is an issue when multiple users deploy the same project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Data Connection To Multiple Source, Having ODX server so we can easily setup on client desktop, plus thing about timextender is having Web as well as desktop version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Oracle Data Connection Dependiency to timextender(ODX). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Drag and drop feature is pretty convenient to use rather than writing long scripts, makes work easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Documentations are not updated to the current version and resources are very limited. Should increase frequency of resources like timextender tuesdays. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's not hard to learn when you are completely new to ETL tooling. TX can perform most basic tasks and visually aids in the understanding of stages and dimensional modeling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
When you are used to tools like SAP or SAS DI then this could be a downgrade in ways of possibilities.
- Logging is minimal and using your metadata to create logging is not easy.
- Working with multiple people in one environment can cause problems.
- You can't deploy a single table from DEV - TST. So when a colleague made changes in the DEV environment it's likely that those changes end up in test after a deployment. There are options for this like 'guarding' tables but it doesn't always work and it's a hassle.
The most problematic thing for me is that TimeXtender doesn't work with 'jobs' (collection of tables needed for the output of 1 FACT table for example). TimeXtender just shows all your tables and you can group/filter them by using perspectives. Perspectives are more like domains. One table can be hooked up to more than one perspective and one perspective can contain tables in all layers (staging/DSA/Integration, whatever you use). All operations visually happen on the columns in the table, there is no 'job' containment with clear oversight of different steps like joins, group by's, filtering, or custom scripts for more complex tasks (custom SQL scripts are possible). When a task gets too complex you might need a view which further complicates the visibility of what is happening where. After a year of working with TimeXtender it still feels weird.
The SSL (semantic) layer is a nice feature and they are working out small kinks with every update. Something to keep in mind is that when working with PowerBI, you need a premium workspace and a live dataset everyone has to have a premium license in order to view the reports and you have the restrictions (and benefits) of a live dataset.
Connecting to different data sources (SQL/API's/cloud works fine, except xlsx, csv and other flat files. It's possible, but it's a hassle. If your organization uses a lot of csv's, make sure this can be reduced or you will go crazy with TimeXtender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Its drag and drop function is great, makes building data structures easier people with a limited technical background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Only 75% is covered by drag and drop functionality, would be great if rest of the functions become no-code as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
connection to multiple data base including Clould. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Avaliability of Multiple Version of Application, and also it ask for liceanse key while we try to connect to client desktop app of timextender. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Connectivity for multiple data sources and creation of multiple data areas in same data warehouse Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While connectivity to oracle database there are lot of dependencies.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Saves time but mainly if you still have legacy setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Slow support...but fixes take too long....!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
