Connectors

Jitterbit

Jitterbit offers more than 120 pre-built data integration flows between various cloud and on-premise applications. They can be found within the marketplace with a catalog of Integration Recipes for one direction data integration and Process Templates, pre-built integration use cases that execute a specific business process using objects across multiple applications or systems. The platform offers a Connector Builder with no-code interface to create standards-based HTTP/REST connectors.

There's also a Connector SDK, Java library for developers to create custom connectors. The Connector SDK offers the most control over creating connectors, but requires a developer familiar with standard Java development practices and tools, such as Maven, Docker, Postman, and Git. However, Jitterbit allows HTTP for REST connectors created only with anonymous or basic authentication, as OAuth 2.0 isn't supported.

Informatica

Informatica offers 180+ pre-built connectors for cloud, on-premises applications, platforms, databases, and flat files. There are such connectors as JSON Target, OData, and REST V2 for REST API and OData service. The platform also provides Informatica Connector Toolkit for developers to create new connectors.

Skyvia

Skyvia offers more than 140 connectors and the number is rapidly growing. Among these connectors there are CRM, accounting, email marketing, e-commerce, human resources, marketing automation, payment processing, product management, all major databases and DWH, flat files, etc. Customers can also leave request for creating a new data connector and Skyvia will consider building it without additional payment.

Transformation

Jitterbit

Jitterbit offers transformation as a project component that is used like a step in an operation to map or transform inputs to a resulting output by moving data, cleaning data, or applying business logic. Customers can also leave the data unchanged in case there's no need for transformation.

There are three display modes for accessing a transformation: mapping, script, and preview mode. Mapping and script modes provide tools for configuring the transformation, while preview mode provides tools for testing the transformation with sample data.

The platform also allows to apply scripts, written in either Jitterbit Script or JavaScript, for more flexibility and power to transform data, perform calculations, or perform logic validation.

Informatica

Informatica offers various data transformation capabilities like aggregation, cleansing, masking, filtering, parsing, ranking, and more. The service processes data transformations in real time or batch and applies Apache Velocity transformation scripts to convert hierarchical inputs like JSON or XML into JSON, XML, or text output without flattening the data.

Skyvia

Skyvia is a full-featured ETL service that allows building data integrations with powerful transformations between multiple data sources. It is a no code solution with support for data splitting, complex expressions and formulas, lookups, and more.

Skyvia's Data Flow and Control Flow components can be used for building more advanced ETL data pipelines with support for multiple connectors and additional features like modifying the data, flowing through them, splitting flows of records into multiple outputs, or modifying data flow variables.
