A Great Way to Outsource a Lot of ETL
Pluspunten
There's a lot that goes into an ETL pipeline and Alooma has a lot of those pieces covered. Even from just using the product, it's obvious that the foundational organization of Alooma's code and features is well thought out and we've been able to very quickly add data sources that we need without a large engineering burden.
Minpunten
Some of the features are only present in the API and haven't yet made its way to the UI/dashboard. It would definitely be helpful to have consistency here.
We are moving away from Alooma
It was good while we were small and had small problems to fix, but it's not scalable.
Pluspunten
The data transformations were quick and easy to do because it was in Python and you were able to sample from the data pool to test the transformations before pushing them live.
Minpunten
As our company grew, Alooma was not able to handle the increasing data pipelines and would often break and the UI became way too messy.
Not easy to use and navigate, missing many functionalities
Pluspunten
Compare to other ETL/ELT tools I done't see anything good in Alooma.
It's just data pipeline, with no visibility on data movement.
Minpunten
A lot of cons, lacking the capabilities to transform data.
Not user friendly, data debug very difficult.
Great experience, their team and product are fantastic.
