5 Best Tools for Data Integration
Published: 2023-01-16 19:37:34

A data integration tool is a software solution to transfer data from a source app to a destination app. 

Data integration tools are meant to automate the process of data integration by eliminating manual routines. Instead of copying and pasting records or exporting CSV files with the required information, you can connect the source and destination apps. This connection will ensure a scheduled or triggered data flow that will save time and significantly improve the efficiency of your processes.

Below, is a list of the top 5 data integration tools you should consider.

##1 – Coupler.io 
Coupler.io is a data automation platform that allows you to integrate data to three destinations: Google Sheets, Microsoft Excel, and Google BigQuery. As for the sources to export data from, these include different apps for marketing, analytics, time-tracking, etc. The list of supported sources constantly grows, and you can even participate in it with your preferences.

Coupler.io can be considered a no-code ELT or ETL tool (depending on the data source). However, in a broader sense, it’s a data platform providing data analytics consulting services from simple data automation to setting up advanced analytics for your business. So, you can not only integrate your data from multiple sources but also get it visualized and analyzed with the help of a fancy dashboard.

##2 – Hevodata.com
Hevodata, or simply Hevo, is a data pipeline platform that allows you to create ETL or ELT connections between apps and data warehouses. The number of supported sources is huge – more than 150 apps for different sorts of analytics. The list of destinations, data warehouses, is limited to 9, including Google BigQuery, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others.

Hevo, being a platform, offers two products. Hevo Pipeline is meant to move data from apps to data warehouses. With Hevo Activate, users can reverse the data flow from a data warehouse to a marketing, sales, or business app. So, Hevo allows you to both integrate and disintegrate data without coding. 

##3 – Panoply.io
The word ‘panoply’ means an extensive or impressive collection. Panoply.io is a cloud data collection of code-free integrations to load and analyze raw data taken from apps, files, databases, and APIs. The loaded data is stored in Panoply’s centralized data warehouse, which you can connect to an analytical or BI tool for different data analysis tasks, such as building interactive dashboards.

The logic of using Panoply differs from the one at Coupler.io or Hevodata. You only need to select a source to get data from and, optionally, a BI tool for analytics. You’re not supposed to select a destination, since the data lands in a managed data warehouse. 

##4 – Integrate.io
Integrate.io is a data warehouse integration platform. It is a young brand, with the marketing being launched on December 15, 2021. However, Integrate.io was born from the merging of four companies Xplenty, DreamFactory, FlyData, and Intermix.io. Each of these companies represents offerings available on the platform:

- ETL and Reverse ETL (Xplenty) to build easy low-code ETL & reverse ETL pipelines.
- ELT and CDC (FlyData) to implement real-time data replication.
- Data Warehouse Insights (Intermix.io) to run data warehouse analytics.
- API Generation (DreamFactory) to generate instant APIs for enterprise data sources.

With Integrate.io, you can collect data from over 200 data sources to the public or private cloud, or on-premise infrastructure. From there, the data can be transferred to the preferred destination. Moreover, before the final transfer, you can transform and cleanse the data.

##5 – Dataddo.com
This is another data integration platform that claims to grab your data from any source and send it to any destination, including BI tools and dashboarding apps like Power BI, Tableau, etc. In addition to integrating data and building ETL pipelines, Dataddo supports reverse ETL and data replication.

Currently, you can enjoy 200+ off-the-shelf connectors at Dataddo. However, if you haven’t found the one you need, you can tell them about it, and they’ll build it! They say that this will cost nothing and take around 10 business days.
