### "Very versatile"

October 8, 2021

5.0

I was looking for software with a very particular characteristic, which was the possibility of being able to read qvd files from qlik and load them in other services or databases. I found some, however, the cost benefit was what finally convinced me.

Pros

The diversity of integrations it has with third-party services and the numerous features it includes.

Cons

If I had to say one, I think that the graphical interface can be improved to adapt to the new times, however it is fully functional.

Reason for choosing Advanced ETL Processor

For the cost benefit that this had on the others that I found.

January 6, 2023

5.0

I love it. It is so easy: I started with simple projects and now I have hunderd of projects working in a scheduled way.

Pros

The power of the product, but in a really simple way. Moreover the programmers are really open to implement the features that you are in need of. They are really super!Ah, one more thing: not so expensive for an enterprise.

Cons

Some features are not so easy to understand the very first time but all the guys in the forum are really open to help you.

### "Great ROI"

November 5, 2021

4.0

Our company is running approximately 20 integrations from within the Advanced ETL. Most are batch integrations and the majority involve database integrations (Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle). Advanced ETL is coupled with Visual Cron for scheduled task execution.

Pros

AETL is great value for the money. In the domain of Integration, it may not necessarily cover all of the use cases, but it will handle the majority of tasks with ease. The learning curve is very fast and the application development cycle is short. The tool is very cheap and very versatile for the cost. It could be used in conjunction with other integration tools.

Cons

Support for message-based integrations and protocols is limited. Not necessarily a con, more of a note. If your organization has the need for message-based integration you may need additional tooling.

### "Nocode Task Orchestration Genius"

June 19, 2025

5.0

The support is fabulous , when you ask devs for trial key , the first thing they ask if they can help you(the user) in solving any projects, I thought this was automate but after 1.5 years , I have over 75+ support tickets , each is replied to with a solution.

Pros

Software supports all modern stacks from Tableau , Postgres, SQL , NoSQL , MS Excel ,CSV etc. Software is actively developed , devs listen to feedback actively, and explain their rationale. Packages can be run from UI , with command line , headless using scripts. It natively supports Python 3 in both calculations & packages, you can run them natively or run them via scripts

Cons

User needs to understand, like photoshop AETL is very deep and cannot be learned within 10 minutes , it requires you to spend time exploring software. Best approach is to have a problem before hand you can solve. UI looks dated but is VERY powerful.

### "Powerful Tool with Outstanding Support"

May 23, 2025

5.0

Overall, my experience with Advanced ETL Processor has been great! It’s a powerful and reliable tool that makes complex ETL tasks so much easier. What really stood out to me was the fantastic support team—they respond quickly and are super helpful. I was also really impressed with how fast they implement new features based on feedback. On top of that, the value for money is excellent. You get a lot of functionality without breaking the budget.

Pros

What I liked most about Advanced ETL Processor was how easy it was to use. Even with complex tasks, the interface made everything feel pretty straightforward. I also really appreciated how it could handle different data sources and automate a lot of the work—that was a huge time-saver.

Cons

The user interface could be a bit more intuitive in some areas. At times, it's not the easiest to navigate, which can slow things down a little.

### "Financial Review"

March 14, 2022

5.0

Pros

Ease of use and ability to work with multiple data sources and then transform them into many different formats. This product is not complex to work in and does a lot of heavy lifting with ease.

Cons

User interface is a little dated, but works well.

### "ETL Manages our Data Flow"

April 5, 2021

5.0

As a 3PL we are getting orders from all sources, in all formats 24x7. ETL-TOOLS is used to bring them into our productions systems, and return any/all customer data requirements. ETL-TOOLS is used to synchronized our production systems to out data warehouse such that our data warehouse is only minutes behind actual ETL-TOOLS is also used to provide an electronic solution to many of the business and operations area. The idea is remove clerical hours and allow everyone to find and fix root causes and provide efficiencies where they are found

Pros

The most important is the ETL-Tools has a comprehensive tools sets to handle almost anything thrown at it. If you can analyze the problem, break it down into its components, ETL-Tools has the what is need to properly solve the issue. If you have something that is not in their tool set, the people behind the scenes are always looking for new functionality to build.

Cons

There are so many ways to solve problems and do things, I wish there was something that could tell you the best way to do it, but that comes with time and knowledge. If you have a problem or scenario you cannot solve, go to their support forum and you normally get a reply back in a few hours. I cannot say how many times I have used the forum to gather solutions or insight.

### "Great value for money ETL tool"

March 31, 2021

5.0

We have used been using Advanced ETL Processor Professional and Enterprise to automate, streamline and manage data exchange with our trading partners and internal systems for a number of years and have been pleased to see the product mature with a number of functional and User Interface improvements. It is easy to install and upgrade. The team at DB Software Laboratory have always been responsive with many feature requests being positively considered for inclusion in upcoming releases.

Pros

The tool set is relatively easy to learn and generally intuitive to use. The ability to design and build reusable ETL elements through a graphical user interface at an affordable price was what drew us to the product in the first instance. We have been faced with a number of interface challenges and with support from the team at DB Software Laboratory we have been able to overcome them through timely extensions to the base product.

Cons

Whilst the online documentation could do with some updates and extra detail it is easily accessible and very readable. We hope to see continued polish to the base product and its documentation.

Reason for choosing Advanced ETL Processor

Value for money and features that included directory and email mailbox monitoring

### "Easy of use and deploy ETL"

February 8, 2022

5.0

Pros

Easy to setup and get it fonctionnal (windows application with comprehensive and intuitive interface). I load and extract data / run scripts / send email to customers all in one.

Cons

For small setup it may use an integrated DB more efficient than Access DB. I had to setup an SQL express to get it wotk in a reliable way.

### "PMC Pharmacy"

January 14, 2022

5.0

The prescription software is inadequate handling customer relations. The Pharmacy wrote its own customer service program. The customer service program expands the data received from the prescription software.

Pros

Imports data very reliably once set up properly.

Cons

Can't answer. This is the only ETL software I've used.

### "ETL-TOOLS is Great Software, Great Value & Performance, and the Cherry on top is Great Support!"

April 16, 2026

5.0

Like any software, it can be used after some learning, but unlike most "simple" systems, you can continue to learn, continue to expand your capabilities to literally handle any transformation you can imagine. ETL-TOOLS.COM has built over decades an extremely flexible and advanced tool, like EXCEL, it must be explored and pushed so you can find all the great capabilities. We have not found a single request from our clients that hasn't been solved with ETL-TOOLS.COM. The only requirement for us is to keep learning. Which is what all truly great software allows and encourages.

Pros

Firstly, the product is technically amazing. The value for the cost is by far the most value in the ETL market. We love that it is ON-PREMISE and not CLOUD HOSTED because we don't want to waste time or risk security moving data to the cloud. But the best part of ETL-TOOLS.COM is their personal and caring support team. I must also add that besides the TEAM being amazing at ETL-TOOLS.COM, their website has extraordinarily high level of examples and documentation. 90% of our questions have been answered in their existing help materials. If we can’t find the answer, the ETL-TOOLS support team is quick to offer ideas or even jump into a meeting and help show, solve your problems. They are truly one of a kind in this market.

Cons

Like ALL software it can have bugs. However, ETL-TOOLS jump into fixing bugs immediately. Making this \*\* CON really is a \*\* PRO, because ETL-TOOLS.COM truly cares about making the best software, and THEY FIX BUGS if you find them, unlike most of the competitors who ignore you, or tell you thanks and do nothing.

Reason for choosing Advanced ETL Processor

On premise not cloud, cost, focused on one time fee and support instead of monthly subscription. Great documentation online and Great Support. Most of the cloud companies seem to be "locking you into them" by holding all your resources and transformations, ETL allows you to control and keep ownership of all your transformations.

Switched from

[Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/)

Excel of course is amazing, but it's not "programmable" for repetative tasks or testing processing. ETL is a much better choice. Plus all the transformations are visual and can be explained, where EXCEL is more cryptic and difficult to explain. Mostly running repeating processes ETL-TOOLS.COM is king.

### "The Best Kept Secret of ETL Tools"

July 18, 2021

5.0

Daily and monthly Transformations & Packages on our Core Processor's extracts of General Ledger, Loans & Deposits and Customer Information Files. Conversion of Regulatory ALERT files, downloads of economic data from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, home indexes from Case Shiller, commercial real estate indexes for Moody's, FTP processes, writing to Excel, MS Access and SQL Server, the list goes on. Using their scheduler & command line utility in addition to Microsoft's Task Scheduler automates everything!

Pros

It's a full featured ETL product. Easy to use and very powerful. I was the CEO if two banks for over 25 years with lots of IT experience. When I co-founded my last bank (AltaPacific Bank) in 2006 I started to use their professional version and later upgraded to their enterprise version. After I retired in 2020 I founded my consulting business for financial institutions. I have yet to come across an ETL product with all of the essential functionality at an incredibly low cost of ownership. The regional bank's IT department that purchased AltaPacific Bank was very impressed!

Cons

I have nothing negative to say about the product. Their support team is incredible! Quick responses, very helpful and on many occasions have enhanced their objects' functionality to solve our business needs, generally, within a few days. As I recall, some Excel enhancements took a couple of weeks and was well worth the wait.

### "Essential tool for companies moving data between multiple systems"

July 14, 2021

5.0

The company feels like they are focused on solving your problems; the tool has helped with almost all of ours, and where we find a problem the tool can't immediately solve, the support and development team are on the case and rolling out fixes to help your specific need. Always been very responsive.

Pros

We manage data on behalf of large enterprise organisations. Our customers use a variety of marketing automation tools, CRM, ERP and email distribution systems, and we need to suck data in from different systems and pump data out. We use Oracle and SQL Server systems to manage the data. Setting up new users is pretty straightforward with this tool, and I have been using it for around 10 years.

Cons

Not a lot to mention on cons; when you have a problem the support guys are usually on it straight away. It feels a very personal service. The front end has some quirks that take a bit of getting used to, but the documentation covers it all.

### "Great tool voor ETL processes"

March 21, 2022

5.0

Setup in minutes, very well documented and very quick results with this great tool

Pros

This tool is perfect for converting data from a wide variety of source systems to a wide variety of target systems. You can easily set up more complex data processes. In addition to links with SQL (both on-prem and in Azure), you can also process e-mails periodically read attachments (for example CSV) and automatically transfer them to a database. Reading QVDs (Qlik Data files) is also a very pleasant functionality for us.

Cons

Don't be put off by the look & feel of this tool. It feels a little bit Windows XP-esque. You can choose other look & feel themes yourself, but it would be better if out-of-the-box 1 clear, well-arranged (modern) look & feel were offered.

Reason for choosing Advanced ETL Processor

First choice was voor converting QVD files. Later on we use the tool also for other complex data transport en transformation processes.
