Featured Reviews

Mediha Šiljić - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Laxman  Molugu - PeerSpot reviewer
Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."
"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."
"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."
"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The solution is easy to use."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"In my opinion, SAP PO is the most mature suite of tools to integrate processes across SAP environments at this moment. It's really unbeatable because it allows you to integrate whatever scenarios you can imagine."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are the standard APIs that we can use."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
 

Cons

"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."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"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."
"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."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"I think the big improvement required in the tool stems from the fact that the whole issue around it is that we have some downtime failures during upgrades and patching."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The solution is not very scalable because it is at the end of its life."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"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 can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"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 cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
