dbt vs. eZintegrations

The prerequisite is that you have a supported database/data warehouse and have already found a way to ingest your raw data. Then dbt is very well suited to manage your transformation logic if the people using it are familiar with SQL. If you want to benefit from bringing engineering practices to data, dbt is a great fit. It can bring CI/CD practices, version control, automated testing, documentation generation, etc. It is not so well suited if the people managing the transformation logic do not like to code (in SQL) but prefer graphical user interfaces.

eZintegrations is a great cloud-based integration tool, which is well suited in scenarios where extremely fast and real-time integrations are required. It is a low-code platform, which is suitable to use when there is a limited technical expertise available in the organization. It can be used for building powerful visual mapping of the integrations created in real time.

• dbt supports version control through GIT, this allows teams to collaborate and track the data transformation logic.
• dbt allows us to build data models which helps to break complex transformation logic into simple and smaller logic.
• dbt is completely based on SQL which allows data analyst and data engineers to build the transformation logic.
• dbt can be easily integrated with snowflake.

• Easy to use
• No technical expertise required
• Extremely fast
• Low-code platform
• Hassle-free integrations

• Field-level lineage (currently at table level)
• Documentation inheritance - if a field is documented the downstream field of the same name could inherit the doc info
• Adding python model support (in beta now)

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.

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 there's a FREE version for 1 dev seat with no read-only access for anyone else, so you can always start with that and then buy yourself a seat later.

eZintegrations is better than the competition because nothing can beat it when it comes to ease of use and speed. The tool, unlike others, doesn't require any technical expertise and can be used by anyone without extreme IT skills. We have selected eZintegrations based on the quality of features that it has with real-time visual mapping dominating them all.

• Simplified our BI layer for faster load times
• Increased the quality of data reaching our end users
• Makes complex transformations manageable

• Helped us track our carrier location in real time
• Helped us issue and collect invoices automatically
• We have improved on route planning significantly through eZintegrations
