Built-in connectors offer extensive data source integration and time savings

Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users. There should be more adaptability in terms of new features. If a specific feature is required, it should be integrated promptly. Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable. Enhancements around customer-focused product adaptation are also suggested.

A seamless all-in-one solution

This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

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

"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."

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."

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

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

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

More Fivetran pros

"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."

Cons

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

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

"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."

"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."

"The environment must be more development-friendly."

"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."

"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."

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

More Fivetran cons

"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product is reasonably expensive"

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

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

"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 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."

"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."
