User Testimonials
	HCL DataConnect
Likelihood to Recommend	I wouldn't recommend Data Integrator over SSIS, but it may be a better tool than other ETL offerings. Having a background in the Microsoft Stack, I am hesitant to recommend any other products especially in a Microsoft-centric company. If this was the only option to use, I think it does a good job at integrating systems after taking time to learn the approach. "Maps" in Data Integrator is definitely different than "process flow" philosophy in SSIS. Incentivized Justin Duperre Data Management Support Specialist Read full review
Pros	Map multiple source and destination tables - what would be done in many steps in SSIS can be done in one or two "maps" in Data Integrator. Platform independent, cloud based, no client software. Conversion of data types, write flat files - this helps us with integrating systems. Fairly straightforward to use if the user has ETL experience.

Cons	Integration Manager needs better scheduling improvements. Like dependencies, and not running a process again if the prior run is still running. New connector development does not seem a priority. Incentivized David Byrd Sr Integration Engineer - Dual Certified in Dell Boomi Developer 1 & 2, and Actian DataConnect Read full review
Alternatives Considered	As I stated earlier, DataConnect makes a head-to-head run against the others. It has advantages and disadvantages compared to the competitors. The choice really comes down to pricing and specific requirement needs for the project you are planning. Questions such as On-premise or Cloud, Security, and Specific Connectors available will drive your decision.

Return on Investment	Our customer likes the consistent reliable integrations we have built so we [got] a definite return on investment. Problems are fairly easy to handle and rework.
