"Great ETL tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CData Virtuality?

We've been using Data Virtuality for more than 4 years to collect data from Salesforce into our datalake: setup has been easy, the service level was good, and the support team was up and ready to help when we happened to have some incidents on the pipeline. Also, the tool is very cost-effective in comparison to other ETL tools (Fivetran, Stitch, etc), which was one of the main reasons for us chosing it at the time. I warmly recommend this tool for any data team wishing to collect 3rd party data at a competitive price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Business Intelligence Tool"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CData Virtuality?

Data Virtuality is a powerful tool which easily integrates a wide range of different data sources. Every data source then can be accessed with SQL. It also has a powerful job scheduler and with its ability to write procedural SQL you can write complex ETL pipelines in a very short time. As a virtualization middleware it also allows real time access to data sources and cross data source joins to get ad-hoc insights. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CData Virtuality?

More information about what happens "inside" the software would be great, especially when encountering a bug or unexpected behavior. But the customer support is always available for help, they have a very fast response time and provide solutions or short time workarounds if needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support was also helpful in resolving issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CData Virtuality?

Nothing comes to mind. We did also use competitors for some edge cases, but if possible I would have used pipes for everything because of the better price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and flexible Data Virtualization solution"

5/5

What do you like best about CData Virtuality?

Data Virtuality has made the data management team so much more efficient and effective. It allows us to access different data sources, draw the data out and analyze it. The two main benefits for us are (1) the short time it takes to connect to our data sources and (2) the flexibility the virtual SQL layer provides to comply with the specific data needs of our end users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CData Virtuality?

Data Virtuality lets users see things they don't have access to when using a tool like DBeaver; this is on the roadmap to be changed so users only see what they have access to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering CData Virtuality:

For those organizations who are trying to figure out how to get quicker with their data delivery, I advise you to look at data virtualization as a whole, but more specifically at Data Virtuality. It is ease to use, has all capabilities to manage data efficiently and provide it quickly to analysts, it’s very robust and has a great connector support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CData Virtuality solving and how is that benefiting you?

We use Data Virtuality as our single source of data truth where we unite data coming in from different data sources in varying formats.

"Data replication made easy"

4.5/5

What do you like best about CData Virtuality?

We were looking for an ETL tool which is cheap and didn't require extensive programming language. After searching in the marketplace that fits our need, Pipes was the only one that was affordable yet gave us the use of integrated SQL editor with which ETL can be easily done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about CData Virtuality?

The price could be more flexible and adapt more to the current use case. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is CData Virtuality solving and how is that benefiting you?

The most important use case for us is that we are building a data warehouse on dimension modelling techniques. Our production database is not at all suited for analytics (since it is optimised for operational purposes). We want to do an ETL process from our production database into a schema defined by our BI team so that we can read and aggregate data more easily Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

helpful. The SQL editor to transform data and schemas seems very useful as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

No real downside. It took a couple weeks to get the Stripe integration functioning entirely as we would like it to. On the upside, the Support and Development teams were AMAZING in getting every little issue and behavior dialed in. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
