Connectors

Hightouch

Hightouch can connect to 150+ connectors, including data warehouses, SQL and NoSQL databases, SaaS tools, and many more. There are more than 20 data warehouses, and about 10 of them can act as both source and destinations. The remaining 130+ act as destinations only.

You can use all available data sources in your reverse ETL pipelines for all plans. The pricing plan defines the number of available destinations. The free plan allows only one billable destination, not including free destinations like Excel, Google Sheets, and Airtable.

You also have two options if your source and destination are not in their list of connectors. You can either request Hightouch to support it or use the Custom Destination Toolkit and build it yourself.

Funnel

Funnel supports 230+ core connectors available for all pricing plans and custom connectors. There are more that 500 core and custom connectors supported in total. The lowest pricing plan allows using core connectors only. The Plus pricing plan allows using three custom connectors. The Enterprise plan allows using ten custom connectors.

If your data source is unavailable in the core or custom connectors list, you can request it from Funnel. However, Funnel doesn't guarantee to add the requested data source.

The only supported destination is Funnel. If you need to load data to a data warehouse, it needs to be in Funnel first. Then you can share it with known data warehouses like AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and Snowflake.

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.

Transformation

Hightouch

You can perform transformations in Hightouch using SQL queries and functions with a visual table selector. You can also do dbt transformations like joining, aggregating, pivoting, and more in SQL or coding in Python.

You can design these transformations through Hightouch models after defining your data source. Your transformation options in Hightouch should be enough for almost any reverse ETL projects. And there’s even more transformation you can do in destinations like Excel or Google Sheets.

Funnel

There’s no coding required to perform transformations. Transformations are analysis-centric using the terms dimensions and metrics. You can define dimensions and metrics with rules by filling up a form.

You are able to deduplicate data, group data, create views and share them with your team. If available capabilities are not enough, you can perform further transformations outside Funnel. This is possible with reporting and visualization tools like Power BI and Looker.

Skyvia

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.
