Better integration with GIT and other CI platforms

Usability

It has not as many features as other low-code tools offered in the market.

Time to Value

In about 2 days. First data jobs were executed within a week.

Scalability

Is not as scalable as suggested. Really works well with multi-cloud environments.

Alternatives Considered

Snowflake, Informatica Data Quality and HPE ConvergedSystem 500 for SAP HANA

Works better than Informatica but does not fare as well as Snowflake.

Other Software Used

SAP Access Control, OpenText Content Suite Platform, AWS CloudFormation

Likelihood to Recommend

Suitable for simple use cases for up to few Gigabytes of data. Unfavorable for extremely large volumes and leads to application failure and memory leaks.

Brilliant tool for small businesses but comes at a cost!!
