Connectors
Skyvia
Skyvia offers more than 180 connectors, and more to come very soon. It supports connectors for CRMs, accounting, email marketing, e-commerce, human resources, marketing automation, payment processing, product management, all major databases and DWH, flat files, and more. It’s also not a problem whether your data is on-premise or in the cloud.
You can access your on-premise data with peace of mind using the Skyvia Agent. It allows you to connect to databases like SQL Server, MySQL, and more using an encrypted connection. You need to download the Skyvia Agent and install it. Then, download a secured key file and place it in the same folder as the Agent. The Agent is like an unbreakable metal door, and you use the key file to open that door to your on-premise data. You can also set it up so that Skyvia can access only the resources you specify and nothing else.
Customers can also leave a request for a new data connector. And Skyvia will prioritize building it without additional payment.
Boomi
The Boomi website boasts over 300,000 endpoints supported. Now these are not the actual number of connectors. Their list of connectors includes 240+ only. It includes popular data destinations: data warehouses and cloud applications. Boomi supports the following types of connectors: application, event-driven, technology, and custom. Developers can write their custom connectors in Java using Boomi’s Connector SDK. Connectors are either Boomi or partner-maintained. And they categorize these by connector classes (Small Business, Standard, Enterprise, Trading Partner).
Customers can deploy connections up to the number of licenses in their subscription.
Transformation
Skyvia

You can use the Skyvia Data Flow and Control Flow for advanced data pipelines. Transformations for these advanced pipelines are flexible. It supports extending your data with new columns, conditional flows, and summarized values. And all these you can do with parameters, variables, and more for flexibility without code.
Moreover, Skyvia has an Expression Builder to build formulas with many functions. With this, you can convert or extract parts of the data or form new values to suit your needs. And if you love coding in SQL, Skyvia can further extend your transformation needs. It supports multiple joins, groupings, CASE expressions, and more in SELECT queries. And you can also use DML commands like INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
Boomi
Boomi supports a set of prebuilt transformations through procedures called shapes. These transformations include encryption/decryption, search/replace, and more. And it lets you create custom preload transformations to convert data formats.
When a process runs, the inbound connector in the Start shape retrieves the data. Possible types are database, EDI, flat file, XML, or JSON. The resulting data goes into the process as one or more documents. Documents move in sequence through the process steps. Each shape performs a specific task on the data and then passes it on to the next shape.
