Snowplow BDP vs ETL Tools

How does Snowplow Digital Analytics work compared to tools such as Fivetran, Matillion, integrate.io, Hadoop, AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, Google Cloud Dataflow, and Stitch?

Behavioral Data vs. Static Data

ETL tools collect "static data" from sources such as CRMs, financial/transactional datasets, and ads data, providing a partial view of customer interactions. In contrast, behavioral data is a second-by-second record of every user action, offering a complete picture of customer behavior.

Enhanced Insights with Behavioral Data

While ETL tools provide a foundation for data movement and transformation, combining them with Snowplow’s behavioral data unlocks rich insights hidden within user actions and interactions. This integration leads to a more comprehensive understanding of user behavior and improved decision-making.

Targeted Resource Allocation

Behavioral data not only tells you what users did but also why they did it, allowing you to target resources more effectively. This ensures that marketing campaigns, product recommendations, and other user experiences are highly relevant and impactful.

"Using Snowplow alongside our ETL tools has revolutionized our understanding of customer behavior, providing insights that were previously hidden."
