CData API Server vs. CData Connect AI vs. CData Python Connectors vs. CData Sync Comparison Chart

CData’s AI offering is centered on Connect AI and associated AI-driven connectivity capabilities, which provide live, governed access to enterprise data without moving it off source systems. Connect AI is built as a managed Model Context Protocol (MCP) platform that lets AI assistants, agents, copilots, and embedded AI applications directly query over 300 data sources, such as CRM, ERP, databases, APIs, with a full understanding of data semantics and relationships. It enforces source system authentication, respects existing role-based permissions, and ensures that AI actions (reads and writes) follow governance and audit rules. The system supports query pushdown, parallel paging, bulk read/write operations, streaming mode for large datasets, and cross-source reasoning via a unified semantic layer. In addition, CData’s “Talk to your Data” engine integrates with its Virtuality product to allow conversational access to BI insights and reports.

CData Sync is a universal data pipeline that delivers automated continuous replication between hundreds of SaaS applications & cloud data sources and any major database or data warehouse, on-premise or in the cloud. Replicate data from hundreds of cloud data sources to popular database destinations, such as SQL Server, Redshift, S3, Snowflake, BigQuery, and more. Configuring replication is easy: login, select the data tables to replicate, and select a replication interval. Done. CData Sync extracts data iteratively, causing minimal impact on operational systems by only querying and updating data that has been added or changed since the last update. CData Sync offers the utmost flexibility across full and partial replication scenarios and ensures that critical data is stored safely in your database of choice.
