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.

A seamless all-in-one solution

This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."

"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."

"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."

"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."

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

"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."

"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."

"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."

More Fivetran pros

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

Cons

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

"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."

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

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

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."

"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."

More Fivetran cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"The product is reasonably expensive"

"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'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."

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."

"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."
