"very good choice for small tech companies"
4/5
What do you like best about Airbyte?

having data from external services in a data warehouse is a standard issue for a lot of companies and for some reason there isn't a single quick way to sort it out.

we chose the open source version of airbyte primarily for the alpha connectors (unavailable in the managed version) and because we're able to deploy it on our k8s clusters and "the backend and data team" (literally two people) work closely together.

deployment and general reliability are very straightforward, and once a connector is set up and starts syncing, it just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airbyte?

many of the connectors are in alpha state and one is generally forced to switch to the open source version if one of those is needed. a few connectors prioritise snowflake compatibility over bigquery (there are a few issues concerning the handling of dates), but everything being open source, it's straightforward to deploy your own patched version.

"The new standard for data engineering pipeines"
4/5
What do you like best about Airbyte?

I love how simple the GUI is to use, and how helpful the octavia-cli is for managing airbyte in multiple environments (dev, prod). Having all our connectors in one place is incredibly helpful, and having such a vast amount of connectors at our fingertips saves us time from creating these things from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Airbyte?

We manage airbyte on our own hosted EC2, so there is a fair amount of time associated with maintaining that and getting it set up with a proper CI/CD pipeline. It's a maturing product, so not all the connectors are 100% reliable yet, but they're getting closer every day. I do wish that incremental loads allows for a lookback window (i.e. load everything from the latest date minus 15 minutes onward) to help them be more reliable.

"Best Data Pipeline Tool Around"
5/5
What do you like best about Airbyte?

We've been with Airbyte for 18 months now and at the time of adopting the product, their long tail on the amount of connectors as well as their consumption-based pricing made them not only the best product for our company but also the by far the most cost-effective. Fast forward to today and they continue to rapidly evolve the product and add even more connectors to the offering.

Their set-up wizard makes it incredible easy to set-up a new pipeline in minutes. With the added ability to have syncs run on pre-defined schedules or cron expressions as well as webhooks to push failures notifications directly to Slack, we feel very comfortable with the set-it and forget-it mentality and can be easily notified if something comes up.

What do you dislike about Airbyte?

Can't think of any at this time. We're happy that the product is continually evolving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
