Rating: 9 out of 10
IncentivizedUse Cases and Deployment Scope
Progress data direct is getting used for data ingestion from salesforce into Data lake. Progress drivers are easy to use for batch ingestion from varied source systems. It got used by Spark, AWS to directly connect with Salesforce and load data into S3.
Pros
- Providing JDBC connectivity to CRM applications
- Raw data integration
- Customer support
Cons
- Support of SFDC bulk API for all objects
- Version management
- Backward compatibility
Likelihood to Recommend
Data ingestion and connectivity to CRM applications made easy by Progress data direct JDBC interface. The interface integrates well with Spark and AWS glue etc. May not be a great fit for ingestion of very large objects from systems like Salesforce.
Alternatives
Easy to use with JDBC interface, detailed debug logs for troubleshooting, and easier audit with detailed log. Cost of ingestion is relatively cheaper
