Apparently, they want to review their pricing models, and I know them to be open to negotiation, though. - As early adopters, we had to do multiple migrations due to fundamental overhauls of their product. However, with V3, I think that risk is minimized and updates should no longer be that fundamental. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As an avid dbt user I enjoy the ease of data integration. Makes it very easy to follow data engineering best practices and I'm absolutely confident this will only get easier.
