Lead Data Engineer at Sensilab

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.

Emmanuel Catalano

DBA at Gruppo SCAI

Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration

I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."

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

"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."

"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."

"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."

"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."

"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."

More Fivetran pros

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."

"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."

"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."

Cons

"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."

"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."

"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 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."

"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."

"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."

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

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

More Fivetran cons

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."

"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

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

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

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

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

"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."

"The solution is affordable."

More Fivetran pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
