We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"The mass ingestion functionality and the elasticity of the solution are great."
"It has a more UI-based tool, and the scripting is good."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"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."
"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 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."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The vendor should have more training resources: online classes, free tutorial videos, etc."
"We would like to have accessibility to the repository."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Its pricing model can be improved. The response time from technical support can also be improved."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"The main issue preventing Brazilian companies from migrating to Informatica Cloud Data Integration from on-prem is the price."
