ETLCloud VS Kettle
ETLCloud and kettle are currently the two most widely used free ETL tools in China. This article will compare ETLCloud and kettle from multiple roles to facilitate users to quickly understand the differences between the two products and choose the corresponding tool according to their own needs.
ETLCloud provides a migration function for the kettle process, so even users who used kettle in the early stage can easily switch to ETLCloud.
Real-time data supports comparison
- Kettle does not support real-time data integration and can only achieve quasi-real-time requirements through continuous polling of scheduled tasks.
- ETLCloud provides powerful CDC real-time data integration capabilities. Whether from real-time streaming data sources or traditional batch data sources, ETLCloud can quickly capture and process data and ensure that the data is real-time and accurate.
- If the enterprise has CDC real-time data integration, ETLCloud is the best choice
Comparison of multi-tenant WEB visual operations
- Kettle only provides c/s tools and does not support web interface and multi-tenant functions.
- ETLCloud supports multi-tenancy and adopts a full WEB visual operation interface. Users do not need to install any client software and can easily complete configuration and management data integration tasks through a browser. Its intuitive and friendly interface and operation process enable even non-technical personnel to quickly get started, quickly build data pipelines, and achieve seamless integration and conversion of data.
- If an enterprise requires multiple people to collaborate on development and can be used without installation, ETLCloud is the best choice.

Data transmission performance comparison
- Both Kettle and ETLCloud are developed in Java and rely on some special features of jdbc and database for data transmission.
- ETLCloud uses advanced data processing engines and optimization algorithms to efficiently process large-scale data and achieve rapid data conversion and integration.
- ETLCloud uses automatic sharding cluster transmission technology to transmit large amounts of data faster than kettle
Domestic database supports comparison
- Kettle supports most domestic databases, and users can also implement docking with domestic databases by extending kettle's plug-ins.
- ETLCloud has good support for domestic mainstream databases such as Huawei GaussDB, Dameng, Doris, Renmin University of Finance and Economics, OB, etc. ETLCloud can seamlessly integrate with them and provide rich data operation and conversion functions. This brings more convenience and choice to domestic enterprises when using ETL tools.
- ETLCloud has richer support for domestic databases and does not require self-developed plug-ins.
Comparison of supported data source types
- Kettle supports mainstream sql and nosql data sources
- ETLCloud also supports mainstream sql and nosql data sources
- There is no problem with both data source support
SaaS application link
- Kettle does not provide SaaS application links and can only be connected through API
- ETLCloud provides integration with mainstream SaaS applications and can easily pull data from hundreds of SaaS applications.
- ETLCloud is more suitable for enterprises that want to pull large amounts of SaaS application data
Free open source comparison
- Kettle has a community open source version that is completely free, but its functions are somewhat limited compared to the commercial version.
- ETLCloud has a community free version, but it is not open source
- If an enterprise pursues open source tools, Kettle is a better choice.
- If the enterprise just wants to solve the problem of data integration without modifying the platform itself, ETLCloud is a better choice.
Community Support Comparison
- Kettle has an open source community but no official support channels. Most of them rely on users to find information online to learn and solve problems.
