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.

Efficient data integration and transformation with seamless cloud-native integration

In our small business unit, we currently have around four users, with two of them utilizing Matillion within our organization. Considering our growing needs, we're contemplating transitioning to an enterprise SaaS solution where we would share the same instance. Currently, each user is billed individually, but consolidating to a shared instance seems more efficient. Scalability is excellent when using the SaaS solution, easily reaching a rating of ten out of ten. Each data pipeline request is encapsulated within a Docker container and spun off, allowing for instant scalability. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of performance and scalability.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

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

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

"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."

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

"SysTrack load is the best feature."

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

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

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

More Fivetran pros

"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."

"It's been able to do everything we require."

"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"

"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."

"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."

"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."

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

Cons

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

"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 should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

"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 biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."

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

"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."

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

More Fivetran cons

"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."

"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."

"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."

"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."

"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."

"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."

"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

"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."

More Fivetran pricing and cost advice

"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."

"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."

"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."

"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."

"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."

"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."

"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
