The ability to do complex ETL without coding is very helpful when working in an environment where you're not allowed access or don't have much time available (which unfortunately happens at work). I dislike that it's so expensive compared with other platforms like Pentaho Kettle - but as mentioned above this may be due more specifically towards our use case than others who are using these products differently from us e.g., pentahose could also meet those needs quite easily if we were looking there instead of vena-etl; however they would cost less too! We've been able solve some really difficult problems which has helped speed up processes significantly by automating them away into code rather than doing everything manually each day etc.; i'm sure many people will find value here though their specific requirement differs greatly :).
