Question on: Sesame Software
What is the learning curve?
I don't have a lot of time to dedicate to learning the product, will this meet my need?
Relational Junction for Salesforce is an easily configurable replication utility that requires no coding or design. All you need to know is your connection user information and which objects you wish to replicate – or select all objects, which is the default. New objects and fields are automatically discovered and added to the database.
Relational Junction ETL Manager uses native SQL to select, insert, and update records in over 80 database and API-based platforms. The learning curve for a reasonably skilled SQL developer is less than one hour, since the there is no proprietary transformation language to learn and the user interface for any integration is done entirely on a single web page. Using SQL provides total transparency to the integration developer rather than going to a proprietary GUI that takes weeks to learn.

Question on: Sesame Software
Is your solution on-premise or Cloud?
Am I forced to choose between on-premise or cloud solutions, or can I have both?
Relational Junction works on-premise, in a private cloud such as Amazon EC2, and on Sesame Software’s cloud. Sesame’s cloud is strictly for managed backup and recovery of Salesforce data, and there is no customer access to the database. Customers have complete access to the database in on-premise or private cloud deployments, enabling data warehouse access for reporting and integration. A Relational Junction server must be on the same local network or data center as a traditional database. There is no such proximity restriction for API-based data.

Question on: Funnel
Can I see data retroactively in Funnel?
Retroactive data
Yes. Data is backfilled (depending on the source) once you connect up a data source. For example, Google Ads data goes back to up to 2 years in the past when you connect it as a source.
Yes. Because Funnel pulls down data from your advertising platforms and Google Analytics account we can report as far back as you have data in these accounts.
