Good tool for data transformation/ETL scripts

It's easy to use with many useful features such as DDL triggers which can be used in combination of other tools like Redshift/Snowflake etc..
The UI is not very clear or user friendly at all times especially when you are new so it might take some learning from scratch but once u get your head around then its great! I have been using this tool since last 3 years without any issues till now only because they recently added few more fields that i need (like "last_updated" field). This was good decision taken up bcoz we were running into problems keeping our data synced across multiple environments(AWS RDS & GCP).

Pros

Easy, quick loading for most basic operations
Has various filters
Various query formats available via GUI / CLI interface.
ETL functionality works best if done manually rather than doing automation due lack o APIs& SDKs support by AWS time scale service providers

Cons
