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.

It's easy to set up the syncing process between multiple connections. Also, not much technical knowledge is needed, and no coding required so the syncing process can be quite user friendly.

The security of the platform is not very high. It is still using traditional username and password login, with no ability to set up different login to the admin portal and no SSO support.

It simplifies the process of syncing data between various systems. Traditionally, doing so means having to export data from one system, modify them to be compatible and then importing back to other systems, which is difficult and time consuming. CData Sync makes it straightforward and totally opaque to end users like me.

For basic replication tasks, this works very well and saved us a lot of development time for applications that only talk via API calls.

Although it supports data transformations, there is no drag and drop transformation capabilites so development background is required. You can't, for example, let this tool completely loose to the analytics team without programming experience.

CData helps tremendously in delivering an easy to use interface that can allow non-technical users to handle the table sync and selection at their own leisure.
Solid product for connecting various data sources

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.
New and Inconsistent
This product looked promising on the outset, offering many connectors with extensive destinations and a low/no-code process. However, I was unable to get the service up-and-running before the trial period ended,.
I tried to get this running on an EC2 instance as outlined in the docs, and ran into roadblocks at every step. I received support on this with a frequency of around 1 email a day, but the support provided did not help solve any of the issues outlined below except for certificate issues:
- The self-signed certificate was not accepted by my browser, and I had to go into browser controls to even access the site.
- The default password was never being set as specified in the docs, and I had to dig through their code to figure out the bug.
- The first connector tested froze up the instance to the point where I had to terminate it and re-create it after downloading the connector.
At this point the free trial was over, and no extensions are offered.
Support mainly just sent documentation, which never covered the issues I encountered. I was told multiple times that "no other customers report these issues", but solutions were not offered.
All in all, I would not recommend this product at this point in time.
