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.)
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.
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 …
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 …
Chose dbt
I haven't come across anything like DBT before.
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 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 …
Chose dbt
dbt is great because of its transformation capabilities

We are longtime ODI on-premise users. So, it was easy for us to migrate to the ODI cloud rather than implementing another solution.

Likelihood to Recommend
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.

I highly recommend the Oracle Data Integration Platform if you are using OBIEE as a reporting tool. ODI offers a large number of solutions. The on-premise product was expensive to implement and maintain. The cloud version is most suitable for small scale to large scale implementations.

Pros
  • 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

  • ODI uses ELT architecture, which enhances the load performance and is very scalable.
  • ODI is platform independent. It supports all platforms, hardware and operating systems.
  • It comes with pre-built integration, allowing immediate data replication, transformation, and data governance while ensuring data quality.

Cons
  • 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

  • Training and ramping up to learn all the Oracle specific intricacies.
  • Security concerns with administering some of the tools to end users.

Usability
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.

Oracle replace a popular integrated nationally used platform shared throughout multiple states. The system was responsive and stable, capable of growing with the business needs. Replacing it with Oracle Data Integration Platform has been a large improvement, adding the capability for better live monitoring, faster response times, better disaster recovery options, easier third party integration.
