ETL & Data Integration
The ETL landscape shows a clear generational divide: cloud-native connectors (Fivetran 66%, Airbyte 56%) compete directly with legacy enterprise platforms (Informatica 60%, Talend 62%) that dominated on-premise eras. Matillion's 58% shortlist rate and strong model diversity signal growing demand for cloud data warehouse-native transformation. Microsoft's dual presence reflects both Azure Data Factory and legacy SSIS deployments, while Databricks at 50% indicates data lakehouse architectures are absorbing traditional ETL workloads into unified platforms.
