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 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."

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

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

"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."

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

"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

"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."

More Fivetran pros

Cons

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

"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

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

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

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

"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."

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

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

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

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

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

"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."

"The solution is affordable."

"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."
