A stable, scalable, and reliable solution for moving and processing data

We're only considering enhancing the presentation layer to give a more multidimensional OLAP view that AWS seems to have decided on. Redshift with the data mart structure is like an OLAP cube. Oracle Analytics Cloud is an over-code killer and is not what we need. I was looking at Mondrian, which used to be part of the open-source stack from another vendor that works. Still, I am also looking at some of the other OLAP environments like Kaiser and perhaps decided to go to Azure with Microsoft Azure analysis cloud, but that's not multidimensional either as SSAS used to be. We tried the Mondrian, and that didn't perform how we expected. So, we are looking at resetting something to perform as an OLAP in the cloud, particularly AWS, so that we might consider an Azure solution.

Solution reduces time-to-value; high ROI

Fivetran has room for improvement in data pipeline observability. The Fivetran logs are fairly basic, compared to, for example, the insight Fivetran gives into helping users understanding the performance of data pipelines. So I think their observability into the pipeline itself could be improved. In addition, Fivetran is in the very early stages of allowing other companies to access its metadata API, but that's something that could use improvement, and I know that they're working on right now. 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. It would be nice if Fivetran offered both their regular offering plus the reverse ETL option as well.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."

"The most valuable feature of the solution is that orchestration and development capabilities are easier with the tool."

"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."

"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."

"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."

"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."

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

Cons

"The user-defined functions have shortcomings in AWS Data Pipeline."

"It's almost semi-automatic because you must review and approve code push, which works well. Still, we had many problems getting there during the deployment process, but we got there."

"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."

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

"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

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

"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"

"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."

"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing between six to eight on a scale from one to ten, where one is low price, and ten is high price."

"The way we use it, I think it is fair as we're getting a good value for money compared to having a server or some other data pipeline."

"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."

"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 pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

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

"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."
