Accurate data and reliable

CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

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 most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."

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

"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."

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

"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

"SysTrack load is the best feature."

"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."

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."

"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

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

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

"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."

"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."

"The product is reasonably expensive"

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