This application is incredible. I used to think that syncing a cloud-based application into a local SQL server had to be addressed on a case by case basis. Then I found CData, which allows you to set up connections from multiple popular data sources to various destinations in a flexible and intuitive manner. Selecting tables/fields, scheduling sync jobs, etc. - all of it is very easy!
Our needs are limited to syncing a few sources into a local SQL server database, primarily so we can report on it using Tableau. However, the application allows for many more data sources and destinations than we are using. It's clear the product team has made great strides for their app to meet the needs of many.
Additionally, the support team is fantastic. They are not only knowledgeable and helpful, but the company has been shown to be very customer-centric by mobilizing development resources as needed to meet our needs through updates to the application on multiple occasions.
If you are looking for middleware to sync data between systems - look no further! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The application is locally installed on a machine, as opposed to being cloud-based. Would be nice to access it from anywhere. That said, this hasn't ever really been a hindrance. We have it installed on a server machine which I can remote access from various workstations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Cdata Sync's massive data integration with more than 200+ sources in a database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The description in Cdata Sync could be simplified to make it more accessible to non-technical users which helps non-IT people to understand it more easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I have experience with many of their products. For the most part, they deliver on what they advertise from a functionality perspective. They are generally easy to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Beware of pricing and contract negotiations. They hook you the first year with a reasonable price that goes up exponentially every year thereafter. We are seeing product price increases of 100 to 150% year over year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CDATA has a large number of tools and plugins that facilitate the process for data processing and manipulation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The prices of the plugins are quite high, they do not allow small companies to take advantage of the potential that each of their tools has. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It's easy to set up the syncing process between multiple connections. Also, not much technical knowledge is needed, and no coding required so the syncing process can be quite user friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The security of the platform is not very high. It is still using traditional username and password login, with no ability to set up different login to the admin portal and no SSO support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
That allows to connect with a large number of programs and establish a schedule of unattended database synchronizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Technically, I don't like anything, maybe they can offer a cheaper licensing alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We spent months trying to achieve data extraction using Microsoft Azure. Not only is CDATA quick to implement it is straightforward and the support teams are available whenever you need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
