The cost for evaluating solutions is quite high in energy and time. Plus, we will end up pushing this vendor to all our clients, so it has to be absolutely stainless and work with everyone, and everywhere.
Airbyte, looks "okay by the cover". If I want to go any further I would need to see what happens when I need to extract data from an esoteric, unsupported, undocumented, Java-based ERP that is no longer sold by its own developer. Unfortunately, I don't have the time nor the skills to do it. So, in the end, we let our clients write their own ETLs on their own stuff and match their datasets to our data model.
Unless I make the happy uncounter with a tool that focus on these forgotten ERP and CRM and don't completely break down when it encounters a weird FTP server serving "encrypted zip files", I'll just let it go.
Having a "Facebook ads" connector is not enough, and not where problems lies.
