I feel like Dataprep could be a good option too, especially for data cleaning, but I'm not sure if it covers the full ETL process.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm leaning towards Dataprep since it sounds like it has the codeless ETL interface that the team prefers. But I'm not sure if it can handle the full range of data integration needs. I'll have to research the options more.

I'm a bit confused by the options. Dataflow and Cloud Data Fusion both sound like they could work, but I'm not sure which one would be better for a codeless ETL interface. I'll have to think this through carefully.
