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 simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."
"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."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
More Fivetran pros
 

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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 could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"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."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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

Information not available
"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 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."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"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"
"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."
