Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity

There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

Solution reduces time-to-value; high ROI

Fivetran has room for improvement in data pipeline observability. The Fivetran logs are fairly basic, compared to, for example, the insight Fivetran gives into helping users understanding the performance of data pipelines. So I think their observability into the pipeline itself could be improved. In addition, Fivetran is in the very early stages of allowing other companies to access its metadata API, but that's something that could use improvement, and I know that they're working on right now. We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool. It would be nice if Fivetran offered both their regular offering plus the reverse ETL option as well.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"The best features are that it is a cloud-based and a multi-tenant tool."

"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."

"The platform is user-friendly."

"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."

"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."

"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."

"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."

"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."

"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."

"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."

"SysTrack load is the best feature."

"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."

More Fivetran pros

Cons

"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."

"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."

"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration should scale up on the migration area."

"Documentation could be improved."

"Although Boomi iPaaS is top in the market, there might be room for improvement in the ETL aspect, which was recently integrated as another module. This aspect of Boomi iPaaS is not mature enough at the moment."

"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."

"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."

"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."

"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."

"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."

"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."

"It is an expensive platform."

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."

"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."

"I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."

"I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"The solution is affordable."

"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
