Alooma vs. HVR (discontinued)

Very appropriate for managing an ELT stack -- Alooma handles the 'E' and 'L' pieces very well. Due to the way transformation is setup, it is more on the lightweight side of things and thus works for this kind of stack. For more traditional ETL stacks, Alooma would probably not be the right fit.

HVR is a real-time replication tool, if you want to centralize your database to cloud in order to provide the best services to your clients or end-users then HVR plays a vital role. multiple sources such as on-premises and cloud databases need to be combined or out together on cloud for creating a centralized warehouse then HVR is very much useful as a replication tool. HVR is a very robust tool.

Incentivized

• Transformation of data before entering the data warehouse -- allows for a consistent/understandable schema for analytics teams.
• Adding of additional data sources: Alooma has a large library of pre-built, common 3rd party vendors for which data is often needed to be ETL-ed.

Incentivized

• Data replication from source to target system
• Almost Realtime data refresh
• CDC solution

Incentivized

• More tools on managing the data warehouse itself. Although great on the ingest and transformation of data, more help provided by the tool on managing the outputs would be welcome.
• Increase possibilities in the transformation step, rather than single event transformations.

Incentivized

• Connectivity with more source such as salesforce
• Missing Enterprise manager

Haven't used the alternatives, since Alooma was one of the earlier ones to the market. From a cursory viewing, however, the features seem to match relatively similarly.

HVR was cost-efficient to us compare to other tools also we had a demo with our data and found out that HVR's performance is much better when replicating data from SAP to Snowflake compare to any other tool. A huge volume of data can be handled very easily. Also, the connectivity with the number of sources to pull the data is very good and they are continuously adding more sources.

Incentivized

• Allowing for additional data sources to more automation capability around monitoring the business is a huge ROI

Incentivized

• Almost Real time data availability
• Makes Reporting easy for BI team
• Quick development saves human efforts
