Astera Data Pipeline Builder (Centerprise) Pros and Cons

I've been using CDI + EDI tool for the last 6+ years and has been working perfectly fine for me. Their support system along with their response time is also good.

There is still a level of knowledge you have to have to write expressions, so a builder would be nice that showed you how to enter variables, etc. Sometimes it takes a bit to figure that out, but that's where the support team is very helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it is a user-friendly and code-free visual interface, which allows for easy drag-and-drop actions for complex data conversions and mappings. It also provides rich profiling, validation, and correction capabilities, which ensures the reliability of data. The tool's intelligent techniques that automatically match source and destination entities while providing the user with the option to control manual maps and write expressions is another feature users appreciate.
