Red - our experience

Reviewed on 2023/12/22

Pros

The way it generates code is awesome, but sometimes there are some frustrations with using the software. One example is that if a job processes source mappings for a table, when the source mappings are changed, the job doesn’t pick up the changes and fails.

Cons

The software technology is a little dated and we see some inconsistencies in how some processes work.
