"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."
