Etleap is easy to setup and supports a growing list of connectors. It allows to do basic transformations and build models to serve all of our data needs. Etleap has been essential in the success of the business.

* The combination of pre-built and tested connectors, tooling to quickly configure and deploy pipelines, and operational monitoring and support is really valuable. This allows our relatively small data team to manage more pipelines than we otherwise could and we continue adding more. * Pipelines are quick and easy to build. There have been times where I built pipelines in real time while talking with data analysts about data we want to consider bringing to the warehouse. Over the course of a meeting we could build a pipeline, get data into our warehouse, and start exploring the data. * Etleap has a very capable team building and supporting their product. We saw this in our initial evaluation where they helped us work though some challenges weeks faster than a better known competitor. As other challenges have come up I have always been impressed with the Etleap staff we work with. They have worked with folks from our data, security, network and other teams and it's always been very productive collaboration. They are a great partner and extension to our team. * We get a lot of value for the cost with Etleap and proposals from their competitors have always been significantly higher cost.

There are many nice features. Etleap has an array of connectors that allow you to source data from AWS S3, FTP servers, relational databases, and more. It can convert csv, json, xml documents into parquet, and it integrates with the AWS glue catalog to make building a queryable data lake easy. The data wrangler makes it easy to do some transformations on the data when needed. But I think the best feature is how it scales so well across big and small tables. Just to give an idea, when I say big tables, our largest tables have billions of rows. It does this with an auto-scaling EMR cluster that adjusts by shrinking and growing as needed.
