Overall Satisfaction with Skyvia

We provide data solutions for nonprofits who primarily use Salesforce and also need data warehousing or other ETL functionality on a limited budget. We use Skyvia for a range of solutions. Our most common use case is replicating Salesforce, CSVs and other SQL databases into a SQL database or warehouse. We also use it to export data to partners who can only process files stored on an sFTP server, perform Salesforce-to-Salesforce data transfers between partner organizations, and perform the necessary translations in in doing any of that work.
  • Salesforce replication into a SQL database
  • Salesforce to Salesforce data transfers
  • Data ingestion from multiple sources
  • Their ability to hit a generalized API (e.g. an endpoint for which they do not currently have a connector) would open up a range of possibilities
  • The translation tools are straightforward but could be expanded a bit
  • We are able to deploy solutions with very high reliability for organizations that would otherwise find this type of data transfer technically or financially out of reach
Skyvia is more cost effective and easy to set up for simple data transfers. It is also substantially faster and easier to set up on high volume data sets requiring incremental syncs. Because our use cases focus on supporting a range of clients who do not have the in-house expertise or an existing tool to do this work, we have found Skyvia easier to implement, train on, and maintain than a more extensive and robust tool like Jitterbit or Talend.

Yes

Would you buy Skyvia again?

Yes

We recommend Skyvia to our clients who need a simple, straightforward method to transfer data between databases reliably, securely, and affordably.

This is not an ETL tool of yore that requires specialized knowledge in whatever langauge the tool prefers. That simplifies the experience dramatically for organizations who have outsourced or less experienced technical staff.

I have not tried Skyvia in a large and highly complex in-house scenario where having the transformations occur more heavily in the tool rather than in the source or destination data solution is desirable. I have not seen any speed or performance issues that would give me pause, even at relatively high volume, even when compared to other similar tools. However I am not yet persuaded that its transformation tools are as robust as in other solutions.
