Finally! a great ELT solution for Oracle sources
Great tool, easy to run and very configurable. Accounts for all the intricacies of setting up an oracle source in CDC mode, and IT WORKS. 12c, 19c, single tenant, container... Logminer, flashback, bulk... this one can do it all.
The documentation has a few holes, but it makes up for it with FULL, DETAILED LOGS. Thank God I found these dudes. A life saver.

The best program to allow data consolidation in multinational companies.
What do you like best about the product?
That allows to connect with a large number of programs and establish a schedule of unattended database synchronizations.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technically, I don't like anything, maybe they can offer a cheaper licensing alternative.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
My company is multinational in our branches in Australia, USA, UK we have different ERP programs than our headquarters in Chile. With CDSync we can very easily synchronize all our databases to Chile and obtain consolidation reports for decision making in Management.
Excellent simple to use product
What do you like best about the product?
We spent months trying to achieve data extraction using Microsoft Azure. Not only is CDATA quick to implement it is straightforward and the support teams are available whenever you need them.
What do you dislike about the product?
4 Months in I cant say there is anything I dislike. Im sure I would always be able to contact CDATA and make enhancement suggestions.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use CDATA to pull data from multiple sources into one data warehouse.
Solid product for connecting various data sources
What do you like best about the product?
It supports many products and databases through the same interface and has a highly flexible configuration engine to decide what data syncs, where, and how. Every data source we've connected it to feels familiar and works similarly to the next. Great job simplifying the connectivity of all these systems!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing we dislike about the product. If I have to pick at something, it would be transferring configurations to a new environment. And sometimes we run into scenarios where the logs could use additional detail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's helping us synchronize data from a complicated CRM system to a SQL database for data warehousing and reporting purposes, and helps us avoid writing and maintaining all that API code.

What do you like best about the product?
How quickly a job can be setup and monitored.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need a way to sync auto increment ID key. This will help with managing the existing

Track daily sync and view in a dashboard.
Data pipeline for a data scientist
What do you like best about the product?
CData Sync is one of the most simple-to-use / no code interfaces for data pipelining I have seen.
With new connectors released yearly, they are keeping up on the highest demand sources and destinations. As a data scientist I know I can use the Python connector, leverage dbt core transformations, and dump my data into data lakes and warehouses trusting my data will have the structure and cleanliness for my analytics tool Snowflake to do the proper analysis I need for the best, near real-time information for my company to make data-driven decisions.
Additionally, I know my on-premise and cloud platforms can be linked together seamlessly without any security compliance problems since CData Sync can be hosted near my data and is a lightweight web solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing! Great support and a very friendly product team are available to help anytime.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There can be errors when replicating tables but logs are easily available to review. The most important thing is to make sure you are aware of the data you are moving and the schema it is coming from and how you want it to land in your destination.
ETL for Dummies
What do you like best about the product?
CData Sync allows users to ETL data from cloud data sources to local destinations to allow for in-house reporting and analytical needs. The GUI interface to CData makes getting up and going a breeze with unfamiliar data sources. If you are not an ETL expert, and you don't like spending days building your own ETL processes, CData is your tool. Establish a connection to the source, point CData to the destination, and let it take over from there.
What do you dislike about the product?
The lack of documentation for more advanced features.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have a hybrid data model. We use several cloud solutions including Salesforce, Marketing Cloud, Eloqua, and WordPress to name a few. We have internal proprietary systems and data warehouses, that require the data from the source to be merged with data internally. CData has allowed us to focus on the data merging and not spend the time and effort building the ETL tools to bring the data locally.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you need to replicate data from unfamiliar data sources, give CData a chance.
Intuitive, intelligent, powerful.
What do you like best about the product?
This application is incredible. I used to think that syncing a cloud-based application into a local SQL server had to be addressed on a case by case basis. Then I found CData, which allows you to set up connections from multiple popular data sources to various destinations in a flexible and intuitive manner. Selecting tables/fields, scheduling sync jobs, etc. - all of it is very easy!
Our needs are limited to syncing a few sources into a local SQL server database, primarily so we can report on it using Tableau. However, the application allows for many more data sources and destinations than we are using. It's clear the product team has made great strides for their app to meet the needs of many.
Additionally, the support team is fantastic. They are not only knowledgeable and helpful, but the company has been shown to be very customer-centric by mobilizing development resources as needed to meet our needs through updates to the application on multiple occasions.
If you are looking for middleware to sync data between systems - look no further!

What do you dislike about the product?
The application is locally installed on a machine, as opposed to being cloud-based. Would be nice to access it from anywhere. That said, this hasn't ever really been a hindrance. We have it installed on a server machine which I can remote access from various workstations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are able to quickly report on data using Tableau from a few data sources (SQL server is a fast and easy data source for Tableau).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure they support all your data sources and destinations (they probably do).
Simple, lightweight and solid
What do you like best about the product?
It's quick and simple to get a solid incremental update process up and running. It's simplified our loading processes to oour Data Warehouse. Tech support is good, friendly and helpful. Documentation is good with decent examples.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish SQL Server wasn't a premium source. Fortunately it's not a premium target. We've had to be a bit creative to fit all our needs into our package of 5 connections but it's working fine.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Removed the need to use SSIS packages. ETL processing is now much more of a hands off affair.
