Fivetran is an ELT tool that performs data transformations after loading information into the destination and requires SQL coding skills to set up automated data transformations. It was designed for low-volume data requirements and only basic extract and load processes. Fivetran relies on the computing power of your destination data warehouses to perform data transformations.
K3 Enterprise is a low-code ETL and ELT platform and integration application with hundreds of connectors (APIs) that perform data transformations either before or after loading. Forged in the belly of the financial markets, K3 is built to grapple with legacy archetypal data forms and nonconforming data sources. K3 loves legacy as much as it does SaaS. See your data, map it and flow it to files, APIs, databases, data warehouses, and data lakes like Redshift and Snowflake.
Let’s see how the features of K3 and Fivetran compare.
