Filevine has two tools for data exports: Data Connector and DataBridge.
Heads Up!
In the long term, Filevine’s Data Connector will be decommissioned in favor of DataBridge.
Data Connector is a CSV export tool. Users configure reports in the Report Builder, then schedule those CSVs to be delivered to AWS S3 or Azure Blob storage, or picked up inside Filevine. The Data Connector is well-suited for simpler BI ingestion workflows, but has notable limitations: data latency is higher (hours), coverage is limited to whatever reports you've built, and there are constraints on report complexity/size.
DataBridge is a Snowflake-based data access layer that provides near real-time (10–20 min latency), application-shaped SQL access to a comprehensive set of Filevine data (cases, clients, notes, calendars, billing, audit, documents, tags, users, etc.). Data is delivered via Snowflake Shares to customer-owned Snowflake accounts.
DataBridge is designed for enterprise customers with data engineering capability who want direct query access, and it's built to be CJIS/FedRAMP compliant with proper tenant isolation.
Key Differentiators
| Data Connector | DataBridge | |
|---|---|---|
| Delivery | Scheduled CSV exports to S3 or Azure | Direct SQL via Snowflake Shares |
| Latency | Snapshots that can be run up to 5x/day | 10–20 minutes (near real-time) |
| Data shape | Report-based CSVs | Application-shaped, normalized views |
| Coverage | Only report data | Comprehensive Filevine data |
| Customer needs | AWS/Azure Cloud storage credentials, Org Admin permissions | Snowflake account or Reader Account |
