The platform offers what you would expect from an ETL platform, but not to the extend of bigger competitors. For smaller businesses / projects it's definately an option to go with Lobster, especially if you need support in German. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Overall it's nothing special and their pricing models are, let's say, unflexible and the price is above average. If there is something you don't need there is no way you can just turn it off, the cloud infrastructure will keep running without any need and will be paid by the customer and Lobster.
