CloverDX vs. Datastreamer

CloverDX designer as a standalone is well suited for fairly straightforward transformations of data. If you want to do large scale data integrations, then their server edition adds an extra level of automation and job control.

Datastreamer has great competency in aggregation and classification of large amounts of unstructured, conversational/social data. We perform media monitoring on social media data which is infinitely large and changing every second. Datastreamer is able to stream that high volume of complex data reliably. There are other solutions better suited for small data movement efforts. The AI models and operations set Datastreamer apart from simple web API's that only collect data and pass it on without augmenting it's value. Very appropriate for organizations looking to use this type of information to understand and classify sentiment, identify themes/insights to assist in decision making across multi-department roles in an organization: PR, marketing, security etc.

• Connects with Salesforce very well
• The graphical view of the transformations allows for easy creations and maintenance
• Support has always been eager to assist with any graph creation difficulties I run into

• The initial learning curve is a little steep. Not very steep or super steep, just a little steep.
• Having enough memory for large multi-step problems can be an issue if the graph isn't designed well.

While CloverDX has an active forum for users to submit questions and assist with answers, their in house support team is incredibly responsive when I've contacted them for assistance. This seems almost at odds with most other software companies who try to save money on tech support by promoting a forum or knowledge base.

CloverDX was a less expensive alternative to Talend and had a more intuitive interface from what I could see during the evaluation.

• Work that use to take multiple people 20 to 30 hours a week to complete each has now been fully automated to where only 1 or 2 hours a week for maintenance is required.
