Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

Mediha Šiljić - PeerSpot reviewer
Built-in connectors offer extensive data source integration and time savings
Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users. There should be more adaptability in terms of new features. If a specific feature is required, it should be integrated promptly. Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable. Enhancements around customer-focused product adaptation are also suggested.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
More Fivetran pros
 

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"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."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"The solution is affordable."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."
"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."
"In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
