Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity

There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.

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

"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."

"It is easy to learn and implement."

"The integration landscape has become complex, and having a data strategy with unified data models would make integration easier for any platform, including Boomi."

"The tool's most valuable features I've found are related to debugging and testing. It makes it easy to track execution, documents, and process history. This functionality is particularly useful for identifying issues with data and providing insights to the business."

"The connection configuration part and the drag-and-drop integration module are the most valuable features for me."

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."

"This is a fairly easy-to-use tool for integration which can be self-taught for those with a bit of a technical background."

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"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 portal is very intuitive and easy to use."

"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."

"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."

"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."

"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,."

"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."

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

More Fivetran pros

Cons

"Have to create some of our own pre-built connectors."

"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."

"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."

"There are very few string handling functions and few mathematical functions are available."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is not yet exposed to the world as a good product owing to certain shortcomings in the area of marketing where improvements are required."

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

"The solution is complex. There's a few items and features that are hard to understand. They should work to simplify the functionality so new users don't struggle."

"They should create a custom connector option. With this, they could improve where the user can create the connector, based on their usage."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"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 biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."

"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."

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

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."

"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."

"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."

"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."

"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."

"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."

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

"There could be an easy-to-understand licensing model."

"Approximately 20k annually."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"The product is reasonably expensive"

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

"The solution is affordable."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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