Review on Etleap by David Forleo

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Etleap is great! It is very easy to get started with and I am learning so much about SQL and R.

Etleap is fantastic! It is really easy to get started with and I am learning so much about SQL and R. I have tried other ETL platforms and nothing compares to Etleap's ease of use. My only issue with Etleap is that it doesn't give you enough flexibility to customize your ETL processes. I would love if Etleap had a way to have variables that could be passed into the script that I could use to make my ETL jobs more customized. For example, I want to run the same job multiple times with different parameters passed in (e.g., job1 with parameter A, job2 with B). I was able to get around this limitation by running multiple scripts (one for each parameter) and copying them into the EKG job but I think there should be a better way to accomplish this. Other than that, I really enjoy working with Etleap and will continue to use it.

Pros
  • Easy to learn and very powerful.
  • It is integrated into Excel and allows you to interact with the data from within Excel itself.
  • The interface is nice and clean and looks professional.
Cons
  • You cannot work directly with a spreadsheet or pivot table as it stands now.
