Considered Both Products	DataEdge No answer on this topic	dbt SI Sid Iyer BizOps Chose dbt dbt is very flexible and can fit into most data pipelines. This is a pro for most organizations that aren't fully bought into one platform (Google Cloud, etc.) Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose dbt Matillion is graphical versus dbt, which is SQL code-based (that, of course, is a matter of personal preference and not an objective advantage). The integrated testing, documentation generation, lineage, etc., were additional criteria that led us to choose dbt. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose dbt I actually don't know what the alternative to dbt is. I'm sure one must exist other than more 'roll your own' options like Apache Airflow, say, bu tin terms of super easy managed/cloud data transforms, dbt really does seem to be THE tool to use. It's $50/month per dev, BUT … Incentivized Helpful? Judy Campion Data Architect Chose dbt Snaplogic is great at the Extraction and Load processes of ETL. It can pull data from anywhere, even behind firewalls. So if you need to get data from various APIs, databases, files, S3, SFTP, etc it is easy to do so. However, it requires special knowledge in order to build … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose dbt I haven't come across anything like DBT before. Incentivized Helpful? YP Yoshlin Pillay Senior Data Entry Chose dbt Most ETL pipeline products have a T layer, but dbt just does it better. The transformation is on steroids compared to the others. Also, just allows much more Adhoc solutions for very specific projects. Those ETL tools are probably better on the T part if you don't need too many … Incentivized Helpful? Obed Espina Senior Data Engineer Chose dbt Airflow can accomplish the same work as dbt (data build tool), however, dbt's (data build tool) development workflow and UI can open up data transformation and modeling work to non-data engineering teams. Looker might also be able to define data models via LookML with a … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose dbt dbt is great because of its transformation capabilities Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	DataEdge	dbt
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	dbt (Data Build Tool) is best suited for doing the data transformation. dbt is just a transformation tool and it is not suitable for building a data pipeline which requires extraction of data and loading. dbt is well suited for SQL based transformation logic and it is less appropriate when transformation logic requires python. Incentivized Sahil Khan Data Analyst Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	user experience makes it easy to work with SQL and version control customer success team and the dbt (data build tool) community help establish best practices thorough and clear documentation Obed Espina Senior Data Engineer Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Slow load times of the dbt cloud environment (they're working on it via a new UI though) More out-of-the-box solutions for managing procedures, functions, etc would be nice to have, but honestly, it's pretty easy to figure out how to adapt dbt macros Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	dbt is very easy to use. Basically if you can write SQL, you will be able to use dbt to get what you need done. Of course more advanced users with more technical skills can do more things. Incentivized SI Sid Iyer BizOps Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Matillion is graphical versus dbt, which is SQL code-based (that, of course, is a matter of personal preference and not an objective advantage).

Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	In 3 months we re-wrote the data warehouse (15-20 sources) in dbt with 3 developers. We are using it continually for the past year with no issues. Sorry, I don't have ROI numbers but the impact was huge. Incentivized Judy Campion Data Architect Read full review
