Immediate ROI and productivity gains for your data teams.
"With our legacy framework, if one of the pipelines fails for one client, it will stop everything for the rest of our clients. But with Airbyte, things are run in parallel because of the platform’s distributed nature, which means that we can process multiple clients at the same time without impacting performance."
Raman Singh, Tech Lead at Symend
"The real ROI is in our ability to iterate quickly, especially at our increasing scale. At the end of the day, you want a tool like that to just work. We can forget about it and know that it's configured and it's connecting and it's working. That hands-free capability is a big appeal for the platform.”
Sean Carver, Director of Data at Petvisor
"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."
Andre Exner, Director of Customer Hub and Common Analytics
"What's different from Stitch Data or Informatica is the way that we can configure Airbyte connections and Airbyte entities through code. That's a huge plus to us as data engineers, because we are used to checking code and being able to manage changes from Github."
Amy Zhao, Senior Manager of Data Engineering at Peloton
"Airbyte allows us to stay flexible while scaling from hundred-million to billion-dollar enterprise clients."
Franziska Ibscher, Product Manager at Drivepoint

Why Airbyte is better than Fivetran?
Open Source Transparency
Airbyte's open source foundation means your teams know exactly what happens to their data - every transformation, every process, every line of code is inspectable and auditable. Unlike Matillion's proprietary black box system where you trust blindly, Airbyte provides complete visibility into how your data is handled, enabling true security audits and compliance verification
True Data Sovereignty
With Airbyte Enterprise Flex, you have complete deployment flexibility including full self-hosted options where nothing touches the cloud. While Matillion offers hybrid deployment, they're limited to major cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their pushdown architecture still requires a cloud data warehouse, limiting true sovereignty for sensitive workloads.
Full Control & Security
Airbyte's 600+ connectors come from a thriving open source community of 5,000+ contributors who continuously expand capabilities based on real needs. Matillion's 150+ connectors are entirely vendor-controlled, meaning you wait for their roadmap priorities instead of building what you need today with community support.
Predictable Capacity-Based Pricing
Airbyte offers transparent capacity-based pricing that provides predictable monthly costs without annual price increases. Unlike Matillion's consumption-based credits, Airbyte lets you scale without fear of rising costs or complex credit calculations.
