Actian DataConnect vs. Hevo Data

I wouldn't recommend Data Integrator over SSIS, but it may be a better tool than other ETL offerings. Having a background in the Microsoft Stack, I am hesitant to recommend any other products especially in a Microsoft-centric company. If this was the only option to use, I think it does a good job at integrating systems after taking time to learn the approach. "Maps" in Data Integrator is definitely different than "process flow" philosophy in SSIS.

Hevo Data is professionally sound in data management and credible analytical processes, where there is proper sourcing and data connectivity, from the different sources. Further, Hevo Data brings huge transformation and analytical approaches, which increases the viability of every operation in the company, and results are credibly issued. The integration that Hevo Data provides is comprehensively sound, and it gives quality coordination.

• Map multiple source and destination tables - what would be done in many steps in SSIS can be done in one or two "maps" in Data Integrator.
• Platform independent, cloud based, no client software.
• Conversion of data types, write flat files - this helps us with integrating systems.
• Fairly straightforward to use if the user has ETL experience.

• 5 Minute Sync with Salesforce
• Transformations
• Auto Schema Mapping
• Push to Salesforce

• Integration Manager needs better scheduling improvements. Like dependencies, and not running a process again if the prior run is still running.
• New connector development does not seem a priority.

• If we are getting data from other sheets then sheet which is connected to Hevo Data doesn't updates in real-time.
• Hevo Data change time in it's workbench on its own. For e.g. If our database timestamp is in UTC format then Hevo Data will automatically change the time to IST but if I run the same code outside the Hevo Data workbench then time is still in UTC. This creates lots of confusion while working on Hevo Data.

As I stated earlier, DataConnect makes a head-to-head run against the others. It has advantages and disadvantages compared to the competitors. The choice really comes down to pricing and specific requirement needs for the project you are planning. Questions such as On-premise or Cloud, Security, and Specific Connectors available will drive your decision.
