The real choice is operating model
Teams usually choose between managed connectors, configurable open-source stacks, and broader workflow platforms. The best answer depends on connector coverage, team time, governance needs, and how much control you want over sync behavior.
What matters for warehouse teams
Connector breadth is useful, but reliability, retry transparency, schema drift handling, and pricing behavior matter more once data movement becomes a platform responsibility.
- Operational burden per connector
- Cost sensitivity as volume scales
- Flexibility for edge-case sources
- Visibility when syncs fail or fall behind
