Exceptional drag-and-drop integration module

It would be great to have more assistance and credit services for additional features. For instance, virtual class initials are available but not for backend processing moves. Making that more visible, like other Azure products, would be helpful. Moreover, the documentation is good, but it could be improved. It is changing every day, and I sometimes find that it's not updated enough or some code levels are not included.

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

"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."

"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."

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

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

"I like the tool's optimization feature."

"I have found the solution to be scalable."

"It is easy to learn and implement."

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

More Boomi iPaaS pros

"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."

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

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

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

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

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

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

"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

"There should be more scripting possibilities."

"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."

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

"There is no validation in the mapping profile custom scripting, such as IntelliSense or advanced error checking."

"Documentation could be improved."

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

"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."

"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."

More Boomi iPaaS cons

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

"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."

"The connections with SAP must be improved."

"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."

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

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

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

More Fivetran cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"It is an expensive platform."

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

"Approximately 20k annually."

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

More Boomi iPaaS pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution is affordable."

"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 pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."

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

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

"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 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."
