We are happy, and so are our clients!

All we did was set up a few pipelines by entering our credentials and tweaking some source-specific parameters like breakdown criteria, frequency of update, etc. to suit our client’s needs, and that’s it. Now, Eleven different sources are being automatically aggregated & delivered into our AWS Redshift warehouse, at a granularity and frequency of our choosing without us ever writing a single piece of code whatsoever. With DataChannel, our team is now free to solely focus on strategizing campaigns, optimizing ROAS, measuring real-time KPIs, etc., instead of worrying about manual data pulls and data manipulation.

PROS

The free trial never hurts! It helps you make an informed decision as you can analyze the product’s efficiency on your own data set. Getting access to 100+ most commonly used pre-built connectors in a single platform eliminates the need of having more than one automated ETL in place. A choice between a managed or a self-managed data warehouse caters to a wide spectrum of user-data warehouse scenarios. A data warehouse managed by DataChannel is also a good choice considering they follow international best practices and guidelines for security, privacy & user access. Even though the product is fairly new in the ETL space, the team behind is highly skilled and experienced, ensuring the product quality and credibility by association. Pipeline setup is fairly easy and minimal intervention is required after the setup.

CONS

At times data extraction can be delayed due to source server overloads & traffic, and hence care needs to be taken while scheduling [Source Dependent]

Vendor Response

Thank you for the kind words Tom. Working with you and your team has been a wonderful experience and your teams feedback has led to numerous improvements in the product. Hope to keep this association growing stronger over the coming years.

DataChannel offers excellent value for its price

The greatest quality of assistance that the DataChannel team offers is what I value the most. The entire team is really amiable and helpful, and they always go above and above. I really appreciate how simple it is to keep an eye on and manage my data. My everyday duties have been greatly streamlined by DataChannels’ user-friendly UI, which has improved convenience in my everyday work life.

Pricing is really competitive when compared the features of other similar products

DataChannel has made data aggregation a whole new level of easy!

I have been using DataChannel for a while now and the experience has been great. I hate writing lengthy scripts for ever-changing APIs and the time that goes into manually running and maintaining those scripts for data fetch and aggregation is such a waste. But DataChannel does all that in just a few clicks. Now I know that my data will be up and ready for me when I need to analyze it.

PROS

- User-friendly interface - The setting up of the pipelines were fairly simple and properly documented and still offered all the control you would have if writing your own script - SQL based transformations which can be triggered by data pipeline refresh are an amazing feature that makes data preparation rather seamless and error-free - 100+ pre-built connectors cover all major data sources - Excellent customer service and onboarding experience - Option for a managed data warehouse and support for all popular BI tools

CONS

- Not much, data extraction can sometimes be delayed due to the delays from the source end

Vendor Response

Thank for you the kind words Saurabh. It has been a pleasure working with you and we hope we can continue to deliver value to your organisation over the coming years.
