General Data Integration Tools

Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) involves using IT-enabled systems to integrate a company’s business application to simplify and automate business processes.

Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is an architecture in which a centralized software component performs integrations between applications, including transformation of data models, connectivity, message routing, conversion of communication protocols, and more.

Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) refers to data integration exports extracting data from different sources, transforming that data into a usable resource, and loading that data into the systems that can be processed by downstream systems, accessed and used by the business.

Brands in this category include IBM, Informatica, Oracle, Talend, and others.

iPaaS, API Gateways, and SaaS Application Connectors

iPaaS (Integration Platform as a Service) is a cloud-based solution that enables users to implement data integration connections through APIs .

API Gateways are software interfaces that enable two or more computer programs to communicate with each other.

Software as a service SaaS Connectors enables users to connect to and use cloud-based apps via the Internet.

Application connectors provide connectivity between third-party software applications, enabling connectivity that allows a company’s applications to share data.

Brands in this category include MuleSoft, Boomi, Celigo, Jitterbit, Workato, Zapier, SnapLogic, and others.

Data Preparation Tools

Data preparation tools find, combine, clean, transform, and share datasets for data and analytics use cases. Data preparation tools can automate much of the data collection and provisioning process, decreasing the IT workload. These tools are usually easily handled by business users for ad-hoc analysis of the business data that drives analytics use cases. However, data preparation tools cannot scale to fulfill high-volume and fast processing speed operational requirements, like those seen in e-commerce, transactions, order-ship-bill, and other critical business processes.

Brands in this category include Matillion, DataRobot (Paxata), Trifacta, Alteryx, and others.

B2B Integration, EDI Integration, and MFT vendors

Business-to-business (B2B) refers to commerce (or e-commerce) where the exchange of data, products, and/or services is conducted between businesses (companies, wholesalers, retailers, etc.) instead of between businesses and consumers.

EDI Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is the electronic transference of business information using a standardized format that allows companies to send data electronically instead of using paper.

Managed File Transfer (MFT) securely manages internal and external data transfers, including encryption, automation tools, and IT security controls integration with security and compliance upgrades available.

Brands in this category include 1 EDI Source, SeeBurger, TrueCommerce, Axway, Cleo, OpenText, GoAnywhere, and others.

What Adeptia Offers – And What Others Don’t

When it comes to the most important product capabilities in business customer data integration, Adeptia is the only company that delivers them all. Other classes of data integration vendors only offer few, or offer them on a limited basis. For example:

Self-Service Integration

Adeptia offers self-service integration for business users, while Data Integration Tools (EAI, ESB, ETL) vendors do not. Neither do B2B, EDI, or MFT vendors. iPaaS and Application connection vendors only offer self-service integration on a limited basis, for example with a specific application connector and use case, but not to enable you to connect to all of your customers.

Customer Portal Self-Provisioning

Adeptia offers customer portal self provisioning. That’s something you can’t get anywhere else – not with data integration tools (EAI, ESB, ETL); iPaaS and Application connector vendors; data preparation tools; nor B2B, EDI, or MFT providers.

Trading Partner Management

Adeptia offers trading partner management, something not offered by data integration tools (EAI, ESB, ETL); iPaaS and Application connections; or data preparation tools.

Data Formats and Protocols

Adeptia handles any data formats or protocols including XML, EDI, app-specific formats, CSV, spreadsheets, PDF, flat files, column/positional, legacy systems, and much more. iPaaS and app connectors; data preparation tools; and B2B, EDI, and MFT providers typically only handle a limited number of data formats and protocols.

Integration Use Cases

Adeptia addresses an enterprise-wide breadth of integration use cases, while iPaaS and app connectors and B2B, EDI, and MFT software solutions accept only a limited amount. Data preparation tools address only a limited scale integration of data for analytics uses cases.

Large File Ingestion and File Streaming

Adeptia offers large file ingestion and file streaming, while most data integration tools offer only some; data preparation tools offer only a limited capability; and iPaaS and app connectors and B2B, EDI, and MFT don’t address this use case.

Hyper Scaling

Adeptia offers hyper-scaling to support mission-critical business operations that can grow to meet the needs of the worlds largest multi-national corporations. iPaaS and App connectors address 1-to-1 connectivity on a limited scale, and data preparation tools cannot scale for operational requirements of mid-sized or larger businesses.

Content-Based AI Data Mapping

Adeptia offers content-based AI data mapping. Data integration tools and iPaaS and app connectors offer some content-based AI data mapping, while data preparation tools offer it only on a limited basis. B2B, EDI, and MFT do not offer content-based AI data mapping at all.

Deployment Option Choices

Finally, Adeptia offers your choice of deployment options, including cloud-based, on prem, or a hybrid of the two. Data integration tools offer only on-prem; while iPaaS and app connectors, as well as data preparation tools offer cloud-based only. Options vary with B2B, EDI, and MFT.
