What I like about Weld

Weld’s graphical interface is intuitive and easy to work with, even for teams with limited SQL experience. Its flexibility across sources—from databases to Google Sheets and APIs—made onboarding smooth, and performance across larger workloads was consistently strong. Support was responsive and helpful throughout our setup and ongoing use.

G2 Review:

What I like about Dataddo

It is so user friendly and doesn’t have any learning curve. Any user can understand and create their own custom flows without external support.

What I dislike about Dataddo

If a flow is created, Dataddo needs to introduce how to add more features in the flow (maybe edit columns or add/remove them instead of creating and replacing a new flow).
