Scalability, security, and excellent customer support are a few more advantages of Xplenty. For example, Xplenty has a new feature called Field Level Encryption, which allows users to encrypt and decrypt data fields using their own encryption key. Xplenty also makes sure to maintain regulatory compliance to laws like HIPPA, GDPR, and CCPA.

Stitch

Stitch is an open-source ELT data integration platform. Like Talend, Stitch also offers paid service tiers for more advanced use cases and larger numbers of data sources. The comparison is apt in more ways than one: Stitch was acquired by Talend in November 2018.

Informatica PowerCenter

Despite these drawbacks, Informatica PowerCenter has earned a loyal following, with an average of 4.3 out of 5 stars on G2—enough to be named a G2 “Leader” in the field of data integration software. Reviewer Victor C. calls PowerCenter “probably the most powerful ETL tool I have ever used”; however, he also complains that PowerCenter can be slow and does not integrate well with visualization tools such as Tableau and QlikView.

Oracle Data Integrator

Oracle Data Integrator (ODI) is a comprehensive data integration solution that is part of Oracle’s data management ecosystem. This makes the platform a smart choice for current users of other Oracle applications, such as Hyperion Financial Management and Oracle E-Business Suite (EBS). ODI comes in both on-premises and cloud versions (the latter offering is referred to as Oracle Data Integration Platform Cloud).

Skyvia

Skyvia is a cloud platform for big data integration, migration, and backup. Users can build data pipelines to data warehouses including Redshift, BigQuery, and Azure. Perhaps the biggest selling point of Skyvia is the tool’s no-code data integration wizard, making it accessible for both new and seasoned ETL practitioners.

Matillion

Unfortunately, Matillion suffers from a similar drawback as Striim does: the number of possible SaaS sources in Matillion (roughly 40) is lacking when compared with other options we’ve discussed. In addition, a reviewer on G2 (where Matillion has 4.2 out of 5 stars) mentions that “the pricing model is difficult for light usage clients. It is charged based on the time the virtual machine is turned on, not by how many jobs or computing resources are being used.”

Pentaho

Pentaho (also known as Kettle) is an open-source platform offered by Hitachi Vantara used for data integration and analytics. Users can select either Pentaho’s free community edition, or purchase a commercial license for the software’s enterprise edition. Like Xplenty, Pentaho comes with a user-friendly interface that lets even ETL newbies build robust data pipelines.

AWS Glue

Notably, AWS Glue is serverless, which means that Amazon automatically provisions a server for users and shuts it down when the workload is complete. AWS Glue also includes features such as job scheduling and “developer endpoints” for testing AWS Glue scripts, improving the tool’s ease of use.

alooma

Nevertheless, Alooma has received generally positive reviews from users, with 4.0 out of 5 stars on G2. One user writes: “I love the flexibility that Alooma provides through its code engine feature… [However,] some of the inputs that are key to our internal tool stack are not very mature.”

Hevo Data is an ETL data integration platform, with more than 100 pre-built connectors to databases, cloud storage, and SaaS sources.

FlyData

However, if you use another data warehouse solution, or if you want to remain flexible and avoid the risk of vendor lock-in, then FlyData likely isn’t the tool for you. FlyData also has another major disadvantage: it only works with a handful of data sources (including Amazon RDS, Amazon Aurora, MySQL, Percona, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB) and no SaaS platforms.
