  • Limited support for non-relational data types compared to NoSQL alternatives

Celigo

  • Prices are not published on any of the three editions
  • Billed on endpoints and flows, so the cost is driven by how many systems you connect rather than by volume through them

  • Unlimited endpoints and the full governance features are Enterprise only
