CloverDX
What CloverDX is
CloverDX is a self-hosted data integration platform for building, automating, and monitoring production data pipelines. Users can develop visually and add code for flexibility. Workflows can connect steps through dependencies, handle errors, pause for manual intervention, and run on schedules or in response to message queues, APIs, or detected files. Wrangler supports self-service data preparation, while Data Manager covers data stewardship, master data management, and manual review of data in progress. The platform includes connectors, supports custom connectors, and lists REST, SOAP, and GraphQL protocols. It provides Salesforce Bulk API connectors for large transfers and supports Salesforce SOAP API for lower-volume queries. CloverDX can run on-premises, in cloud environments, in containers, or in hybrid environments. Its 45-day full-feature trial runs on the customer's infrastructure, includes support access, and has no data-volume restrictions. Pricing is on request; the Standard, Plus, and Enhanced plans use an annual estimate from a calculator.
