Leading Cybersecurity Company Achieved 10x Productivity and 560x Faster Data Integration with Nexla

About the Company

This California-based leading cybersecurity company specializes in AI-powered endpoint security and threat detection. With several thousand employees and offices worldwide, the company safeguards devices and cloud workloads. By partnering with Nexla for data integration, they streamlined custom data connectors and scaled their analytics.

The Challenge

A leading cybersecurity company faced limitations with their ad-hoc analytics approach, which couldn’t scale to match rapid business growth. Their existing system frequently broke down, consuming the team’s time with diagnostics instead of delivering insights. The company needed a solution to support their analytics requirements quickly and efficiently.

The Solution

“Nexla has all the major integrations that you would ever want, and is very fast at creating custom integrations and connectors.” – VP of Data, Analytics & Data Governance

The company chose Nexla over Fivetran for its agility, flexibility, and ability to deliver data exactly as needed. Unlike Fivetran, which provides a rigid, predefined data structure requiring extensive post-processing, Nexla allowed the team to handle data “their way,” integrating custom connectors without costly refactoring. This agility enabled them to connect to key systems like CaliberMind, Workday, and Google BigQuery. Nexla also met advanced analytics demands without adding infrastructure or operational overhead.

The Impact

  • 560x Faster Integration: Reduced time to bring new data sources into Snowflake from 6-8 weeks to just 30 minutes, accelerating the overall analytics process.
  • 10x Productivity Increase: Enabled both engineers and non-engineer domain experts to manage data flows, with Nexla’s no/low-code capabilities allowing all team members to collaborate.
  • Flexible and Scalable Data Integration: Nexla’s platform supports custom connectors for unique data sources, allowing the company to quickly integrate critical tools like CaliberMind, without the extensive post-delivery work that Fivetran would have required.
  • Cost Savings: Nexla’s approach eliminated the need for additional personnel and infrastructure costs typically required for post-integration processing with Fivetran.

By choosing Nexla, the company not only achieved rapid, customized integrations but also benefited from significant cost efficiencies by avoiding the need for extra resources and infrastructure. Nexla’s agility provided a tailored data integration solution that aligned perfectly with the company’s unique business requirements, while maintaining control and flexibility.
