What do you like best about Portable?

Support team is top notch. Ability to connect just about any data sources and if they dont have it, they can build it quickly. Cost effective. Set it and forget it. Super easy to set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

Needs extended support for incremental data pulls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We needed a cost effective solution for getting our data platform off the ground. Portable was a fraction of the cost of the other players in the market with just about the same outcomes. It scales with us. We also have many non standard data platforms and portable has been able to get all of them connected. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

1000s of already built system api connections. Willingness to build out new connections. Speed and accuracy of new connections. Easy to use and navigate. Great communication approach and response rate. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

Just wish there were more connections to ERP systems (but I know this is in the works). Curious if write back functionality is in the future roadmap of capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Being able to connect to backend data live in multiple systems enables us to have a close to live connection into our client's data to build out the needed custom reports and visuals they need in Power BI or Tableau. This gives us a better sales pitch and channel to approach companies using x software, while also helping us build out reports for current clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

- The team is quick to respond and super helpful in solving problems and creating new connections.

- There are a lot of connections available that are relevent to e-comm businesses that Fivetran doesn't support.

- The product is easy to understand and simple to set up. We had a few connections going within minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

- There are a few minor improvements that could be made in the UI, but these are superficial and I know the team has plans to work those out over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We wanted to move some Airflow custom connections to an automatic ingestion, but the tool we currently use for ingestion (Fivetran) doesn't support many of the systems we connect to. Portable either has these connections or is willing to add them, which really cuts down on our time dealing with custom connections. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

This company is amazing! I have been working for months to pull Shopfy GraphQL API data for various endpoints in my free time and kept hitting roadblocks. I was recommended to Portable by another Analytics Engineer and I am so happy he did.

After talking to the Portable team, they quickly agreed to stand up a new Shopify GraphQL API connector in their platform and equip it with all the enpoints I have been looking to get data out of. It was like magic!

The team at Portable is incredible and so easy to work with. Not to mention the product is very intuative to understand and easy to integrate into my datawarehouse

I will be coming to them again with more ingestion tasks. Lifesavers! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

I'm sad that I did not find them sooner! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Streamline data processes and reduce time to stand up API ingestions pipleines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

The team is super engaged and willing to help the end users even if it's outside their scope. We use Portable to get our Monday.com data into our Snowflake Instance. The connection was so easy, and the team helped us work through parsing the JSON into something our Snowflake users could query easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

I havne't found anything to dislike yet. Monday.com recently made changes to their APIs. Portable gave us a heads up this would be happening and immediately came to our aid when the changes impacted our incoming data. They worked with us, had us about 50% recovered on day 1, and then set up thier own Monday instance to fully understand our issues that were preventing full recovery. They had us whole again within 36 hours. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Portable is solving the issue of systematically pulling data from Monday.com and putting it into our Snowflake instance so we can then marry it to additional data coming in from other sources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

Pelothara of connectors you can't find any where. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

They don't have the advanced configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Portable helped us reliably and consistently bring data into the data warehouse from applications. Otherwise, we might have had to build our own connectors. They also assisted us in quickly building some of the connectors we needed. Overall, it was easy to get started and set up new data sources into the data warehouse. I highly recommend trying Portable for extracting data from applications. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

They have a straightforward and minimalist set up experience that makes it really simple to get data from external sources into my warehouse. I love how many data connectors they have, and their support team is really fast about updating existing sources to add new data if we need it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

I can honestly say I haven't hit anything that I dislike so far. They focus on one thing, and they do it well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use Portable to import engineering, product, and sales information into our warehouse. From there we can run DBT models and answer key business questions in our BI tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

The team is the most responsive team I have ever worked with. Within 2 hours they will create a new integration for us. Can't stress how great their team is.

Their platform is also super easy to use which makes our lives super easy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

For each integration you need a new destination. Not the end of the world, but adds one small step in the process Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Makes tapping random applications that no one else supports a breeze Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

No frills. Does what it's supposed to do. Amazing customer service.

They will have a connector up and running for you in a few hours or a couple days. Hasn't broken yet.

Can't ask for much more.

Shout out to Ethan and the team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Portable?

The confidence that I have a go-to integration option where no others exist. It just worked. Within hours of requesting a new endpoint, it was ready for me to trial. I like products that do exactly what they claim. In the case of Portable, that claim is the ability to spin up an integration in minutes. All I had to do was contact customer support, and it was done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Portable?

Due to it being a young product, there were certain polish/features missing such as token based auth for Snowflake or detailed logging. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I needed to sync data from a new service that had a rich REST API into Snowflake. No other service provided this, and I didn't have the time / resources to write a custom integration myself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Honestly, there's not much to fault here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Filling Gaps: Provides no-code solutions for integrations that were otherwise unavailable.

Focus: Frees up my time to concentrate on analytics, not pipeline issues.
