The best tool depends on your use case, but for most teams the top choices are:
Best overall for Salesforce → BigQuery sync
Fivetran
- Very reliable, low-maintenance
- Managed incremental syncs
- Handles schema changes well
- Great if you want “set it and forget it”
- Downside: can get expensive at scale
Best for more control / lower cost
Airbyte
- Open-source and cloud options
- Good Salesforce and BigQuery connectors
- More flexible than Fivetran
- Downside: usually more operational overhead and connector reliability can vary by deployment
Best if you’re already in Google Cloud
Google Cloud Data Fusion / partner ETL tools
- Useful if you want to stay inside GCP
- Often more engineering effort than Fivetran

Other strong options
- Matillion — strong for cloud data warehousing teams, more transformation-focused
- Stitch — simpler but less robust than Fivetran for some enterprise cases
- Meltano — good for engineering-heavy teams, open source, more DIY
My recommendation
- Need reliability and minimal ops: Fivetran
- Need cheaper / more customizable: Airbyte
