Comparison

Improvado

Improvado automates the annoying parts of data management. With Improvado, marketers are no longer at the mercy of non-scalable manual processes. Costly and valuable developer time is now freed up, no longer from having to create interfaces, host and maintain databases, normalize data, and visualize reports.

Skyvia

Skyvia is a cloud-based data platform that aims to make data integration, backup, access and management easier and faster.
With Skyvia, organizations and companies can expect to import, export, replicate, migrate, synchronize and manage their data with ease. It allows smooth data supervision between databases and cloud apps with no fuss. Users don’t need to code anything, and it just takes a few clicks for data to be backed up or restored.

Fivetran

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.
