How to choose a WATS alternative
- 1
Bill tied to data volume
Check whether the bill follows data volume or users. WATS Enterprise includes unlimited users, while its published base includes 100 MB of analysed data per month on annual prepayment. Its 1,000 MB upgrade adds €1,240 a month above the base, so compare the allowance with your actual review needs.

Keep your records yours
Ask where your records live and who controls them. With your own version, your records stay in a database you own. WATS lists a separately quoted on-premises option and private-cloud add-ons, so include deployment in the comparison.

Fit your rules and fields
Check whether the review keeps first-observed and latest results separate, distinguishes test processes, and supports your follow-up rules. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, including your own fields and review process.

Plan the switch
WATS documents an export wizard for unit test reports. Bring the full history and its test steps across, then check the report counts and results before switching. Repair history and other export layouts may need mapping or additional work, so scope them before changing factory operations.
