    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 …

    Chose Hevo
    Much lower cost and faster syncs but not as good support. More flexible in terms of pricing, though. Fivetran requires annual contracts and is very inflexible.

    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.

    It is of great help for unstructured data sources. The way Hevo Data flattens the high nested data is amazing. Schema management is also good by Hevo Data. The way it's tell about the data type and then we can identify any error in the model. Additionally, It is very easy to setup for any new user and once model is created then we do not have to worry about the script maintenance and updating the script daily.

    Pros
    dbt Labs
    • 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.

    Cons
    dbt Labs
    • 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)

    • Support - their support teams try to be helpful, but often miss the mark
    • Error logging - we've run into a few issues debugging errors and limited support is provided by Hevo

    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.
