Data granularity
While Funnel allows you to extract useful data from your data sources, there are limitations on what fields data can be extracted from.
Adverity on the other hand provides a much deeper level of granularity allowing you to go as detailed as you need into your data.


Advanced or basic ETL capability?
If you only need basic ETL capability then Funnel may be a good choice.
However, if you need to go beyond just basic ETL and apply more sophisticated transformations, monitor and ensure data quality with ease, and be able to access a wide range of data sources at a more professional level of granularity, Adverity may be the better option.
What about data transformation?
With Funnel, data transformation is largely limited to automating the sort of basic tasks that you typically are able to carry out in Excel.
Alternatively, Adverity provides a much more robust set of advanced and customizable transformation options that can cover almost any use case.


Data quality
While Adverity provides powerful tools for managing your data and monitoring for easy data quality control, Funnel does not provide any features along these lines.
However, if you have alternate means of ensuring data quality outside of your solution, or have enough time/resource to manually monitor your ingested data for issues, then this may not be a problem.
Scalability
Funnel is a great tool for basic ETL but can be limiting for businesses that need to scale their data operations and is not considered to be enterprise-ready.
Adverity meanwhile provides the functionality you’d expect from a fully capable solution, including a management API, advanced notifications, and smart naming conventions - features that are ideal for enterprise businesses or those that need to scale in the future.
