What do you like best about Flatfile?

I appreciate the ability to configure and control the Flatfile *Portal within our Elixir application.

*The portal is a beautiful interface that our customers use to upload their data in almost any CSV format and easily choose the attributes that will map into our database.

Beyond a great product, Flatfile provides excellent customer support and is easy to work with if any questions arise during implementation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

Not much to dislike - Flatfile provides a B2B Data exchange solution, which can be a complex problem or time investment to solve from scratch. I believe Flatfile will continue to enhance and simplify offerings for great tooling on all aspects of data exchange. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flatfile allows customers to bulk import their data, which makes onboarding new customers easier.

I've started to think of Flatfile for data exchange like I think about Stripe for billing. Both billing and data exchange features are not core to my product's value proposition, and it makes sense to leverage these as 3rd party tools for my software application.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

Flatfile has supported our growth to date from a small start-up to a scale up company, on one of our key user onboarding flows. Without it, it would not be an understatement to say that we would not have a product. Their customer support is also very impressive - I really enjoyed working with Michael Poythress and Arseniy Barmin. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

Initial setup requires quite a lot of implementation work. Flatfile's customisability comes with the downside that it's not something that works readily out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Converting user CSV and excel data into a normalised form that can be ingested by our application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

After exploring so many other options on the market, we found flat-file was the easiest to use while providing a depth of tools to our users. their support staff was always available to help work out problems and was always extremely responsive. Hard to ask for anything more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

We have been fortunate to participate in their build program and receive an extension on that program as well. We really like the product, I think the only thing we could ever ask for is a "free tier" for very low utilization and experimentation. However, they provide many opportunities to access their product affordable right now. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Helps us standardize and validate data coming from a multitude of sources that have similar vocabulary, but each have thier own spin on it. this allows us to run comparable analytics and provide more immediate feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

Most amazing thing about this software is it is very easy to use and handy for every one. Including many amazing features for easy importing and managing of files and content in the most robust way. The documentation procedure is comprehensive and makes the workflow very easy. The design and the dashboard is well arranged and all the tools properly arranged in the most unique way. Helping users to work with more accuracy. Merging of data is versatile and fascinating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

The structure of the documentation is quite cumbersive. When trying to save or import larger sized files , takes longer time as normal, which results in slowing down the workflow and processing of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

With this software we have been able to easily merge and prepare the documents in the most robust way. Integrated it with all our CRM and marketing platforms for importing and sharing the purchase and invoice data to our clients in the most safest way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

The functionalities of all the tools present in this software are unique, and the arrangement of devices and dashboards is fantastic of this software. Its data import feature is impressive and helps make your workflow easier. IT drag and drop feature is also quite interesting in making your workflow more accessible and intuitive. The platform also supports converting the document's file format to your desired file format. Easy to migrate and process the data from one server to another server. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

There is no preprocessing feature of data available in this; if it could have been there, the processing of documents could also take less time. For some dynamic mapping, there are lesser and limited tools available on this platform. Integration with other third-party applications is quite complex and more time-consuming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

The software is saving us time in uploading heavy and more significant-sized documents for advertisements and campaigns, and generating bills, quotations, and invoices has been easier with this software. Creating official documents and sharing with our customers, CA, and Vendors has become easier with the tools available in this application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

As a low-code developer, some of the data hook configurations were challenging, but the Flatfile team was always there to support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

One of the first steps in onboarding our new customers is uploading data via Flatfile. Thanks to Flatfile, this part of the process is now painless and required minimal development to meet all of our goals and create a clean and smooth onboarding flow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

Greatly accelerates CSV importing and saves from having to get customers to use a template file or create data exports that map your expectations. Pretty quick to get integrated and flexible enough to support things outside the happy path. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

We found the need of defining workbooks and templates a bit confusing. I had used Flatfile at a prior job and this was all configured through code which I liked much better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Saves us from having to build our own CSV processing flow and dealing with restrictive CSV templates or convincing users to map their input data to some pre-defined schema. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Flatfile?

Flatfile saved us a lot of time compared to building our own way to ingest candidate information in various formats. It took a few minutes to implement. Since we implemented it a few years ago, we have not had a single issue. Our customers love the simplicity it offers, and it makes us look like rock stars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

Flatfile does exactly what we need it to do, but if I had to say something, I would say the pricing of what we use. We use a subset of the Flatfile feature set, but the pricing is reflective at a per import basis. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Flatfile to allow our recruiters to import candidates at scale. Our recruiters recruit in the high volume space, and individually uploading candidates to our system was a big pain point in our application before Flatfile. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

(Original )Information
What do you like best about Flatfile?

I'm too old to be writing another custom CSV migration tool.

I'm too busy to be writing a CSV reader with this level of polish.

I'm too attached to my sanity to have to spend time telling a customer how to format their CSV to match our setup.

I like to think Flatfile keeps me young, sane and free. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Flatfile?

Flatfile doesn't seem to have a way to handle weird columnar data formats, it expects things in rows (not too unreasonable) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Flatfile:

Just try it out. It's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Flatfile solving and how is that benefiting you?

Flatfile is enabling us to use our existing APIs to perform data migrations for our customers. It removes an entire class of problems from our plate. Having built similar solutions for other companies in the past, it's hard to believe how potent Flatfile's solution is and how easy it was to implement.

5/5 would integrate again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
