expressor eval edition survey results look very promising
We have been beta testing our eval edition during July and September of this year and launched this latest offering on Sept 8. Since day one we have been asking for feedback via our Survey Monkey questionnaire and luckily a good percentage of our eval edition users are open to sharing their findings with us after the 30 day trial period. Here is some early feedback from 15 respondents I'd like to share with you. Our survey contains around 20 questions and this blog highlights the results of three of them:
As you can see from the first question below, our eval edition users are using a cross-section of ETL/DI tools right now. As expected, the leading tool is Informatica followed by Ab Initio, DataStage, Microsoft DDS/SSIS and SAP Data Integrator .
The next question focuses on what the most important ETL tool capabilities for them are, and you can see from the chart that ease of use is the most important capability, followed by business reuse, common business definitions, high-performance data processing, and real-time capabilities all having similar importance to our evaluation users.
And finally, I’d like to share with you the results to the question whether the eval edition of the expressor semantic data integration system meets the expectations of our evaluators. Glad to say we are doing very well on this front, which I expect will lead to more business for us down the road.
All of us here at expressor will be watching this expressor evaluation program very carefully over the coming weeks as more and more survey results come in. As for now, we are very satisfied with the results, as they indicate that our value proposition of smart, fast, and affordable ETL/DI software is right on the money and that our competitors (Informatica, Ab Initio, etc.) will have their hands full stopping us from making significant inroads into their accounts. And they won't!
