Hafiz Usman - PeerSpot reviewer

Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.

Real-time integration and seamless data synchronization enhance user experience
The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady. It excels with bidirectional data synchronization. It supports diverse databases and platforms. We link the ODS with numerous source systems, including Oracle, Tarek Data, and Microsoft, with no integration issues. The solution caters to enterprise needs, fitting any organizational requirement, apart from data security issues common to cloud solutions. The cloud data security challenge is notable, necessitating solutions such as private cloud offerings to allay security concerns.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"Fivetran provides time savings, cost reductions, and improvements in data quality, and when the time investment decreases, fewer developers are needed, which means significant savings."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The stability of Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is one of its most useful features, although its performance is not too steady; it excels with bidirectional data synchronization and supports diverse databases and platforms."
"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."
"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."
"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."
"GoldenGate is a good solution to implement in terms of scalability and flexibility."
"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."
"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."
 

Cons

"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"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 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 experience of using SDK connectors can be improved, as it lacks computational power, which is an area that needs enhancement."
"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."
"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."
"With Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, we have usual cloud solution issues such as privacy and data security."
"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."
"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. 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."
"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."
"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."
"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is affordable."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"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 can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"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 rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
