Nachteile

None. Its been great. Haven't had any issues.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Integrate.io

Vorteile

Drag and drop interface easy to use for simple pipelines. Coding skills not needed to create and setup a pipeline. Very prompt support.

Nachteile

The same drag and drop interface becomes extremely tough to use for complicate pipelines. Deployment of pipelines quite confusing.

Vorteile

I like the ease of use. We have never ran into a problem with it. And if we have a question their support is AMAZING!! They actually teach you how to use it and don’t just send you an article. I love their business support model. More companies should do it!

Nachteile

I actually don’t dislike anything about it. It’s the only tech solution I have no complaints about which doesn’t ever happen..

Vorteile

We used Xplenty for 3 years as our ETL. It was easy and flexible to setup and was the only solution on the market that could handle MongoDB to Redshift with a very nested structure.

Nachteile

Nothing I disliked. When we had an ETL (now on ELT) it was great and exactly what we needed.

In Betracht gezogene Alternativen

Vorteile

1.The user experience is so good.
2.Every feature and usability has been simplified unlike in other enterprise ETL tools.
3. The managed service for infrastructure is the USP of xplenty.
4. The customer support is so active and get back to us with the solution on time.
5. Xplenty is on PAR with enterprise level tools.

Nachteile

I did not have anything like that, but there is a room for improvement in cluster management and a request for feature is they can bring a in-built support for handling array data type.

Vorteile

Xplenty saves us lots of developers hours (internal and external), simplify data integration and cancel the need in many Salesforce Apex Codes. Within minutes, you can create any process you want from multiple data sources for your needs.

Nachteile

As a non-developer, sometimes I need a step-by-step guide in order to understand (and not just execute) the processes I want.

Vorteile

The interface is intuitive and easy to use. The package capabilities are very robust allowing us to move data between very different systems.

Nachteile

Scheduling packages would be better with 'on finish' functionality rather than requiring a strict schedule.

Vorteile

It's very easy to set up a package or workflow to bring in data from production databases, Google analytics, facebook, etc. There are also a number of ways to transform the data that are built in. For example, I have user agent strings in my database, and Xplenty can easily make those into browser version, device type , and other separate columns.
Scheduling of jobs is very intuitive for both the less technical user and for users that are very familiar with crontabs

Nachteile

It can be really difficult to debug a package. It would be nice to be able to see intermediate outputs along the way in in a complicated package.
Would also be nice to have a good way to retry a package more than once in case it fails and then be able to define success/failure for the entire package
Error messages on failure could be more helpful

Vorteile

Of all of the products we tested out, Xplenty was the most intuitive and easiest to use. It is very straightforward to set up when using when the existing connectors.

Nachteile

Sometimes when a job fails, it's hard to determine the cause from the provided Error Log as it can be pretty minimal in some cases.

Vorteile

Xplenty's easy-to-use interface makes it possible for less-technical members of my team to dive in and create/edit ETL jobs and schedules. We use Xplenty to enhance partner data, transform and add flexibility to how we structure and consume various data streams. Xplenty makes this easy.

Nachteile

There are a few feature requests that we've submitted for some time now that have not been able to get rolled into the product. Namely, the inability to output fields containing special characters as a part of the field name has been especially limiting.

Vorteile

It's fairly simple to connect to data sources and has all of the features you would expect. If you aren't running a massive amount of real-time integrations then it is cost effective.

Nachteile

We haven't had a lot of real issues. The node hours thing can be a headache if you want real-time data, but that's a common thing in this space so nothing unexpected.

Vorteile

Xplenty is easy to use and oriented to developers

Nachteile

1) It can be difficult to debug errors in complex Xplenty flows, 2) long wait times to get help from support, and 3) doesn't have as many 3rd party connectors (i.e. SalesForce or Amazon) compared to competitors

Vorteile

Very easy to use.
Has many connectors and sources to capture data from.
Pricing point is very welcoming.
Once up and running, is stable and does not require maintenance.

Nachteile

Error logs could be more informative, but still ok to understand.

Vorteile

The plugins, and initiating jobs via the API. The ability to connect to multiple sources and merging into one data source.

Nachteile

Not having the ability to iterate through 1 day at a time within a data range, also not being able to use certificates as authentication.

Vorteile

Easy to use & helpful technical support team.

Nachteile

Delays in responses from support team because they are based in US & it requires them more time to respond.

Vorteile

Ease of use. Value for the cost.

Nachteile

Still need connectivity back into Salesforce
