Fivetran is a fully-managed ELT platform that helps business teams to automatically aggregate, clean and load business data from multiple sources to the destination of their choice.

With over 160 native integrations, the platform makes it possible for business teams to connect to a wide variety of data sources for efficient, data-driven decision-making.

Fivetran offers a slew of advanced data transformation capabilities through the open-source dbt Core, which is fairly popular among data analysts. This allows the platform’s users to leverage functionalities like transformation scheduling, data lineage graphs, notifications, and more. But as with all open-source tools, users will need to be extremely careful, especially when large volumes of data are involved.

That said, Fivetran claims to offer a comprehensive privacy, security, and compliance program that covers HIPAA, SOC-2, and ISO, among others.

Stitch Data is a cloud-first, open-source ETL platform that enables business teams to rapidly and securely move data from multiple sources to designated data warehouses for fast and efficient analysis.

The platform is an integral part of the Talend Data Fabric, providing prebuilt connectors to over 100 databases and SaaS applications, with support for leading data warehousing platforms like Snowflake, RedShift, BigQuery, and Azure Synapse Analytics.

Stitch Data offers a simple interface with ready-to-query schemas designed to accelerate the process of onboarding and extracting insights from new data sources.

The platform, as stated in one of its documentation pages, does not support user-defined data transformation. This means that you can’t carry out advanced data transformation processes on the platform. It does support and automate a few basic preload transformation processes, like JSON structures, data typing, object names, etc., but these are only sufficient for light- and medium-duty data warehousing needs. Advanced data transformation capabilities can only be accessed by signing up on Talend, Stitch Data’s “parent platform”.

The platform is also compliant with major security protocols, including SOC-2 and HIPAA.
