Nexla Reviews

Pros

Nexla has provided UI for creating mappers for defining the rules for data transformation, which helps non technical members also to define the rules easily.
With nexla its really easy to integrate data from different carriers and data sources with our platform.
Ability to forward mapper third party API response to our platform.
Ability to make multiple synchronous api calls and map each request and response.
Good alerting and monitoring framework.
Super responsive team.

Cons

There are few bugs and improvements need to be fixed but team nexla is working aggressively on it.

Pros

Their team is happy to support and work with you to make sure any project gets over the line. The tool is extremely flexible and works with nearly any solution. The ability to integrate customize scripting into transformations was especially useful for our bespoke solution. I'm not worried about the pipelines breaking and they assisted in a key piece of automation allowing us to discontinue an entire product within the existing tech stack. The ability to write data back to systems is a feature that really differentiates the product from other competitor solutions.

Cons

It's not as easy or intuitive given the customizable nature as some of the other ETL tools on the market. It does more but requires a bit more from the users. Fortunately their team was extremely supportive and willing to work with us to overcome these issues.

Fivetran

Reasons for Switching to Nexla

we used both for different sets of ETL pipelines as Fivetrans NetSuite integration using Netsuite as a source is extremely efficient and in this case was free.

Pros

1. Nexla makes it really fast and easy to manage our integrations with new partners or data
sources. An integration can take a little as a day. It is much faster than what we were
doing before.

2. It's very easy to get up and running. Our engineers don't have to do any training or learn
a new system. The Nexla takes care of any custom work our engineering team would
have to do.

3. The platform manages almost any data format or source. We have used it for APIs,
flat files, EDI and webhooks. They support other types too, like Avro and Parquet.

3. The support team is super responsive. We've had partner issues over the weekend and
the Nexla team was on it before we even knew about it!

4. Nexla manages complicated data transformations required by our partners. We can use
Nexla for API chaining, splitting and combining records, and lookups.

5. We love having the shared Slack channel. It makes support so much faster and we
always know what is going on with our data with the Slack bot alerts

6. Data monitoring and error reporting is a big feature in Nexla. The email alerts help us
keep track of activity and any errors detected in the data.

7. Nexla can run on any environment- the cloud, VPC, or on premise.

8. We also like the fact that it's enterprise level (i.e. provides high throughput and great
support).

Cons

Whenever there have been bugs the Nexla support team has been very responsive and
worked quickly to resolve them. They're amazing!

Pros

Nexla makes it real fast and easy to ingest all types of data sources (API,FTP ect) into our data pipeline.

Cons

Only small draw back is Nexla is a startup, so they don't have a robust knowledge base yet. I can only assume it is because they have been focussed on building a killer product.

Pros

1. Easy to set up the ETL pipelines in just a few minutes.
2. Support team is very responsive.
3. Rigorous monitoring and error reporting.

Cons

Sometimes the data processing operations are slow which slows down the business reports.

The support team always listen our feedbacks and resolve our dudes and problems. 6. The information flows very quickly when nexla transform them.

Cons

Nexla needs to continue improving visibility into data operations. We have also sometimes hit bugs. That said, the Nexla team is very prompt in making fixes and adding new features every month.

Pros

We love that Nexla makes it really easy and fast to set up new pipelines for our partners and our data sources. We are able to move quickly without having to use our internal teams to set up complicated processes-- processes that used to take us months and are difficult to get prioritized. Nexla also supports so many sources and formats; so the possibilities of how we are utilizing Nexla are endless. Also, the team is fantasitc to work with. Support is so fast and the consultation with them is priceless.

Cons

It is sometimes hard to keep up with all of the features and undersranding everything the platform can do. Would love a more robust help center or guides to help with that knowledge.
