Businesses who want a more targeted low code ETL solution might prefer K3. Talend is known for its steep learning curve, high CPU and memory consumption, and significant costs for IT-centric talent to use the solution, and server/hosting fees. Many organizations may not want to make the commitment it requires or allocate the resources necessary to upskill and learn the product.
K3 Enterprise in contrast is a low-code ETL, data prep and data integration application with hundreds of connectors (APIs) that perform data transformations visually rather than being code dependent. Forged in the complexity 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 popular data lakes like Redshift and Snowflake.
