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

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

"The maturity of the product is significant."

"The product's integration features are quite rich and low code. It is easy to use."

"The Salesforce and NetSuite Application specific “connectors” provide a layer of abstraction on top of the SOAP-based APIs to streamline integration development."

"This solution has a user-friendly interface and very good documentation with solutions that helped us in working with the tool efficiently."

"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."

"The platform is user-friendly."

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

More Boomi iPaaS pros

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

"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."

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."

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

"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."

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

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

"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."

More Fivetran pros

Cons

"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."

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

"The product's UI could be more convenient."

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

"Lots of enhancements are needed in the API portal so that the developers can view the definitions, try out the APIs, etc."

"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."

"The most valuable features of Boomi are the integration capabilities, the Data Hub product, and the UDI integration."

"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

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

"The connections with SAP must be improved."

"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."

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

"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."

"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."

"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

More Fivetran cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."

"It is an expensive platform."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is expensive. I rate its pricing an eight out of ten."

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

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

"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is a relatively cheap and cost-effective product compared to other products like SAP or Oracle."

"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."

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

"The solution is affordable."

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

"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

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

"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."

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