What our customers are saying
"Zoho DataPrep has taken the time it takes to clean and import our data from multiple hours down to minutes. I am able to provide my clients better tracking of their key statistics because I now have an automated way to take in their third-party data."
Bob Sullivan JD
COO, Vector Solutions
"Zoho DataPrep has allowed us to reduce manual data cleansing and cut down on clunky, additional scripts for transforming the data. With Zoho DataPrep we have been able to streamline our ETL processes and move towards a leaner ETL framework, with much of the transformation work now being done within Zoho itself."
Connor Nobert
Director, Pulse LLC
"We spend a lot of time writing and maintaining custom scripts to import data, fix errors and transform the data. Using Zoho DataPrep, we easily found the errors in the data and fixed them all from within the tool. We are now looking to eliminate manual scripts and use Zoho DataPrep to automate data preparation."
