Keboola

Easy to use tool that integrates all functions of a strandard data-stack

Kommentare: The thing I like the most about keboola is the fact that just by signing in I can start doing my work even on a brand new client without worrying about installations, infrastructure discussions etc. Me and my team can be productive on day one.

Vorteile:

Keboola is a SAAS platform for data analysis - as such enables full infrastructure support to the data team without the need to employ and burden standars IT resources to manage the data infrastructure. Keboola provides - data connectors, transfromation backends, storage, databases and server resources and supports data programming languages like python, R, Julia and of course SQL

Nachteile:

The reporting has still some to improve, and there is some work to do on the Data lienage and UX - needing to say thouhg theat in the last year the tool improved drammatically in these areas.

Many integrated tools and strong API

Vorteile:

Keboola has many built-in extractors and writers that can be set up in under 5 minutes, which is very convenient and unblocks other processes. Also, Keboola has a very strong API behind itself, which we use for more advanced things that are not available in the UI.

Nachteile:

There are some things like datatypes in storage that are quite specific for Keboola itself and can be confusing when onboarding to the tool. I also believe the whole onboarding experience could be better, but I've seen a lot of improvements, including Keboola Academy.

KBC

Vorteile:

It makes my everyday life so much easier. It's very universal - there are already so many extractors included, but even when you find a source that's not there (yet), you have several options how to easily get the data to the tool. You can choose your favourite transformation language - we are using mainly SQL (Snowflake), but I really appreciate the option to go for Python, R or even Julia.

Nachteile:

At the time of writing this review (Dec 2020) there is no easy way to set up CI/CD. If you want your transformations to go through review process, you have to create it on your own.

Best ETL software and data management platform on the market

Vorteile:

Keboola was a true game-changer for us. It saved so much time on our data pipelines management and give us new possibilities on how to manage the world of marketing and e-commerce data engineering and data science.

Nachteile:

Nothing really, all platform and customer support are really awesome :-)

Keboola Connection is TOP BI tool

Vorteile:

Keboola Connection enabled our team to develop an MVP of the product in a few weeks. The time to set up data pipelines, data transformations and then reports based on this data is astonishing. The ease of use and value-for-money of KBC are the main reasons I would recommend this software to any modern data engineering team.

Nachteile:

No cons that I can think of at the moment. Given the industry we are in (pharma), we have to deal with some legacy databases and data formats. Keboola didn't have extractors ready for some of those but it was pretty easy for us to make our own extractors <- that comment should go to "pros" I guess
