Likelihood to Recommend	Cyral Inc. For all companies engaged in data processing and business, this is an excellent software to feel much more confident that all your data, analysis, graphics and business analysis, are in complete safety. The whole department is happy to work with the software because it is very easy to use. Incentivized Luis Alcalá Senior Manager, HR Planning & Talent Management Read full review	HCL Technologies This is a tool geared for smaller to mid-sized business that has disparate sources of data from different platforms in varying incarnations. It’s a great ETL tool to solve the problems a scenario like that causes, but you can also achieve that with good BI Tools like Qlik Sense. So be careful that you really need an ETL tool, as opposed to an end-use tool with a built-in ETL component. If you are going ELT and have a lot of data an not a lot of corporate resources, this is a better option than Microsoft or Informatica Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	Cyral Inc. No answers on this topic	HCL Technologies Quick response for queries involving multi-million rows Low cost Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Cyral Inc. No answers on this topic	HCL Technologies As I said before, more training or greater visibility to training tools/options would be a plus. It’s easy to publish YouTube videos these days, I think they should make more of them. Differentiation would help, there’s not a lot out there to drive you to buy the product if you are well informed in the market. If you know the market, you steer towards the large or trendy products. It’s a good product, but lost in the noise of the field I think. Hitching the wagon to a major software brand (like Mule did to Salesforce) would help grow the user base, and thus increase the activity in the support community. More users also translates into product champions. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
