"Solid, scalable and reliable solution for data ETL"

4.5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Very long list of connectors to applications (SaaS and otherwise) and databases. UI-driven approach to manage, build and monitor ETL processes. Much easier to use than Scribe, Boomi, etc. Has the ability to function as a database host itself, and transform inbound SQL queries into OData, etc. real time. Executes extremely fast (1MM Odata records into Azure SQL in 20 min). Flexible and inventive team can create additional connectors and work with both technical and non-technical users to achieve results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

Flexible and small team. Comes with benefits (flexibility) but sometimes challenged when competing with larger players just due to being more of a startup/early revenue firm. Shouldn't keep you from doing business with them since the solution is great - just be aware of their size vs. competition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Daily tasks made easy with the self-service data management portal."

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Lyftron showed the possibility of parsing complex data and its types like Json files and XML. We don’t have to depend on external servers but can make good use of our own to make meaning out of big data. We are not even worried about security or getting lost in the data since we are equipped with tagging functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

GitHub is still not fully integrated. Lyftron must look into it with high priority. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

Data handling is the biggest differentiator that defines the success of data driven organizations. A sophisticated architecture of Lyftron that secures your data, migrates it codeless, and makes it available with high speed is something that cannot be ignored. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

We love the logical data-warehouse layer by Lyftron that helps us gain efficiency in managing big data from several data sources. We can define data sets and also customize views that keep our data engineers satisfied. Lyftron is way ahead in integration with many other data sources that is accelerated with the usability of self-definable data pipelines. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust data lineage model that gives utmost control!"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Lyftron offers data encryption AND data tagging! Ever since we faced a data security compromise in our organization in the past, encryption was our key requirement. But as the business has been growing, and so is the data volumes, we wanted a usable data catalogue too. Both safety and usability in one package is rare OR very expensive. With Lyftron it’s workable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

We need more clarity on understanding data catalogs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

Excellent functionality with huge potential for future data loads. Not very expensive. Finally security is not compromised. Recommended highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

We are able to have full control on our data by using data catalogs. Since the data sets can be custom defined and shared, our data engineers enjoy the flexibility and constantly feel motivated to expand the data lake for scaling new depths in analytics. The solid integrability that Lyftron offers only helps our cause further. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Smart transition from traditional to modern data governance"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

We wanted a smart interface for transitioning from traditional data governance to modern cloud infrastructure, knowing about the latter’s edge in data control, source-target integration and BI rendering possibilities. After researching about at least 10 players and even unsuccessfully using one of them for a short time, we finally shortlisted Lyftron -- simply because it offered us all these key features just as we wanted them. Lyftron opens up incredible integration possibilities with sources like Azure SQL DB, RDS and Facebook. Their speed of data transition and syncing with our BI tools was unimaginably high! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

A little lack of clarity if I wished to continue my legacy systems with cloud infrastructure both working in parallel. I still wonder even though I don't want that setup anymore. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

Lyftron is the answer to those who want to save time from unfruitful activities like raw analysis of data, and depending on local databases. I sincerely believe that anytime spent more than a few minutes querying data from sources to the data lake (which is our infrastructure) -- is time badly wasted. Lyftron saves you from this crime by offering their high end ANSI SQL querying techniques which are loaded with other features and also encrypted and safe. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

As mentioned above we experienced a smart transition of our database into much sophisticated and value generating cloud infra, using Lyftron. We had to literally double check if anything was amiss in our processes, since we ended up getting several hours of “free time” by using Lyftron, as compared to earlier. Lyftron is fairly priced too.

"A smart data hub for several data sources boosting Looker usage"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

We loved how Lyfron replicates databases without any traditional ETL workflow hassles. It acts as a unique data source (for all data) for BI tools like Looker that we have. All data sets get available in a categorized form in one place. We use Looker more productively than ever. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

Detailed logging is not entirely possible. Else everything works great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

Lyftron undoubtedly gives best integration with a lot of data targets as well as BI tools. We are very happy and regard Lyftron highly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

We realised we were not using our data or even our BI-Tool (Looker) to their fullest potential. Reasons for this were data lags, crashes and ineffective data replication from the sources. Since Lyftron does data loading to the warehouse ONLY until it is necessary with a Metadata approach, not only we get data replication faster, but also fully categorized and searchable. We are confident that our usage level of Looker has increased manifold after Lyftron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Data Warehouse made more logical and smarter by Lyftron!"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Lyftron makes data replication smarter by applying dynamic data-masking, something that we always wanted to avoid unwanted exposure while data management. It further gives flexible row access security with tagging feature. This not only enhances the security further, but it also makes the data more easily ‘divable’.

Their robust integration with key players like Snowflake, Amazon RDS, SQL and SAP HANA makes it a complete package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

Nothing, I am happy with solutions provided by Lyftron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted to improve the structuring of our database and optimize the usage of our systems. To start with, we connected with more than 150 top data sources with Lyftron. Superb integration! During this integration we experienced how Lyftron smartly bridges the data warehouse with our BI tools with practically real-time synchronization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Impressive journey from Oracle GoldenGate to Lyftron"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Lyftron has a smart feature of reading logs to do a performance evaluation. Thus choosing Lyftron resulted in our Company gaining 4x speed of what we had with Oracle GoldenGate. What we liked even better is that it can perform Oracle 12c replication and also retain type-2 history without needing manual intervention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

It supports most of the data sources, as compared to any other service providers, however still has scope for complete integration with Azure solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

Data safety, efficiency and integrity. These are our key takeaways from shifting to Lyftron. Lyftron is definitely cutting edge and we support it fully to competitive organizations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our struggle with Oracle log mining and efficient replication of large data has been made easy with Lyftron. The transfer of data from GoldenGate had to be quicker, which is now indeed real-time. Thanks for the codeless mechanisms of Lyftron that adds value and makes our lives easier. Not to forget the encryption of data which is the foundation of our database security.

"Superior data management with reasonable costs"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

We have an advanced encryption option to safeguard our confidential data with Lyftron. The automated data type mapping keeps detecting and loading incremental data to the target. The impact on source systems can be imagined huge, but Lyftron does this without frustrating or overloading the source systems.This gives full control to our data and literally ‘live updates’ to our analytics team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

I find the user interface a bit too peppy and futuristic. I cannot use all of it at all. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

We recommend Lyftron strongly to those who believe in logical and efficient data management. We have experienced cost saving ourselves due to a modern technology from Lyftron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

As long as data processing (migration / replication / loading etc.) was conventional and done archaically row by row, we were stuck with slow speed. Since Lyftron integrates data without writing codes and works on bulk operations, our problem of slow speed is resolved. Ultimately it meant huge cost savings to us through various projects that were expedited and were completed before due dates, just because of this ‘Lyft Shift & Load’ technology by Lyftron.

"Migration of multi-sourced colossal amounts of data made possible in a blink!"

5/5

What do you like best about lyftrondata?

Speed, accuracy & control! Our data and files get automatically connected with Lyftron. The data is then available almost real-time in our favorite analytics software too as they get loaded by Lyftron in a data-warehouse of OUR choice. Having a choice of our own data-warehouse was very important as it related with our budgets, IT infrastructure development goals and also our conventions. Thankfully, Lyftron supports most of data sources like Azure, Google big Query, Apache Spark, Experian, Amazon Redshift etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about lyftrondata?

Nothing that i dislike. As of now I have great experience with Lyftron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering lyftrondata:

For us success depended on being faster than our competitors. Thus speed (and accuracy) was the key parameter where Lyftron enabled us dramatically. Definitely if you are up for flash speed with full control, go for Lyftron. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is lyftrondata solving and how is that benefiting you?

We wanted a crystal clear and a comprehensive view of our business. Lyftron gave us a 360 degree view of our data with the ability to track live updates. We now do a real-time analysis of our data which was only a ‘genie wish’ to us. We are very happy to get this insight and control to our data which we realize now, was never there.
