5/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

The people are knowledgeable and easy to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

The speed at which the data is migrated between the systems is sometimes slow, but that could very easily be on our end with the connection speeds of our systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful Product!"

Prebuilt migration maps. The easy way you can map data from system to another I like that it supports VBScript and C# for programmability of mapping Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, easy deployment and works great!"

5/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

Simple deployment. We had to tweak the maps a little but Starfish was response and very helpful. The admin interface took some getting used to. Now it's easy to identify any problem areas and get them fixed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

The tool is designed for pretty complex integrations. For very simple, straight-forward data moving it might be overkill. On the other hand if you are doing a lot of data ETL it is well worth it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy yet powerful tool lets you move data into Salesforce!"

5/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

Pre-built mappings for most major CRM products! This makes it super simple to migrate from say ACT! into Salesforce. The queries are pre-built, but easy to change to suit your needs. The tool is easy to learn too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

Very little to dislike. I'd say get some training or some pro serv help for the setup. But once you understand how the tool operates it's very straight forward. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StarfishETL:

A great tool. Worth purchasing. Comes from a great company that really works with you to make it work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Migrating from MSFT CRM to Salesforce - it made the migration only take days instead of weeks and weeks. More recently I migrated from ACT! and it only took hours instead of days. Great tool! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"CRM Migration with Ease"

5/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

StarfishETL is easy to use, intuitive. It makes the migration process much easier than alternatives I've used. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

Well, migrating to a new CRM is NOT fun, so just the process itself is a pain. But...that's really not Starfish's fault. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StarfishETL:

Do your homework. There are a lot of tools out there. Make sure you find a tool that does what you need, and has a track record. Also, don't overpay for features you don't need. StarfishETL ticked all the right boxes for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I suppose the biggest problem being solved is data integrity during migration. It's imperative that the entire organization has supreme confidence that the data in the new system (CRM, in this case) is 100% correct. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great tool for data migration"

4/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

Starfish has a simple enough user interface that would be intuitive for anyone with database management skills. I like that you can pick the two platforms you want to transfer data to and from and then configure the table linking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

Like with any data migration, there are particularities when it comes to transferring data in one type to another system that isn't compatible. Starfish does a good job of allowing you to transform, but I wish it had more built-in transformation capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Flexible and very capable"

4/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

The many mapping rules and customizable transformation scripts. All the logging and auditing of the processes being run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

I'm using a customized mapping done by the team from StarfishETL. So, it was not part of the initial contract to train me on all its functionalities. The connector to Quickbooks often fails, but I can hardly say it's a problem with StarfishETL. It's because we connect another software with Quickbooks and when this other piece of software tries to sync, it blocks StarfishETL connector, somehow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are integrating Quickbooks customer's information with the CRM called bpm'online. Even though I'm using an already customized solution, I can easily see how we could customize the ETL steps to improve on syncing and integrate other systems as well. I'm thinking of using it to integrate the CRM with another software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Starfish has an intuitive user interface which makes it easy to set up and maintain for multiple configurations. They've also got a fantastic support team which is a differentiator for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

There's not much to dislike about Starfish but if you're looking for a library of pre-built point to point solutions you may be better served looking at something different. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StarfishETL:

Check it out. Great value for the cost. Great support staff, really wants you to succeed with their product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have helped clients connect proprietary applications to NetSuite as well as SugarCRM and other ERP applications like Sage 100. Transferring data to and from either application's database. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Starfish ETL Review"

5/5

What do you like best about StarfishETL?

The user interface is very easy to understand. They have plenty of data connection types already defined, including popular web services and ERP packages. It doesn't take a lot of effort to install and set up. It will work on a basic Windows Server with IIS. Updating the software is also a breeze with their update tool. They have very detailed error reporting when the jobs are running. Keeps history of jobs ran with summary details. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about StarfishETL?

It is a bit buggy and slow when dealing with web services. It allows you to move forward before it's ready. This causes the backend configuration files to get out of sync and you have to discard your work and start over sometimes. Error reporting is not easily exported into text to be read. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering StarfishETL:

I have been able to witness many non-programmer users be able to pick up and learn Starfish and make ETL maps. This program is very easy to use and you really don't have to be a rocket scientist to use it like with Scribe or others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Moving data from one system to another without having to write code. It allows it to be repeatable and updatable when new data elements arise. You can focus on the actual movement of data instead of the underlying code to just make a data connection. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
