Sentiment score
7.1
Organizations achieve significant ROI with webMethods.io, citing reduced manual work and integration time, despite potential cost considerations.
It saves us the effort of having one to two data engineers managing the tasks that Fivetran handles.

Fivetran's support is responsive and effective, with enterprise plans offering especially timely assistance despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
6.6
webMethods.io customer service is praised for quick support, though responses vary, with suggestions for localized and faster service.
If they could provide support more quickly, that would be great.
The technical support provided by Fivetran has generally been good, with a response time and competence that I would rate as good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Fivetran scales effectively for all business sizes with adaptable costs, handling large data well but may incur higher expenses.
Sentiment score
7.2
webMethods.io is highly scalable for cloud solutions and adaptable for large integrations, despite licensing and configuration challenges.
Whenever more resources are needed, they become available automatically without any human interference.
Vertically, scalability is fine, however, I have not expanded horizontally with the product yet.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Fivetran is praised for stability and reliability, with strong data accuracy, self-recovery, and minimal downtime, despite rare issues.
Sentiment score
7.6
webMethods.io is stable and reliable with minor issues, enhanced by frequent updates, though rapid changes can be problematic.
They have 99.9% accuracy on the data load and they maintain transparency.
During the duration of the time that we used Fivetran, it was highly stable.
We provide support to our clients, and the minimum calls I receive are for webMethods.io; it's very stable.
There are some issues like the tool hanging or the need for additional jars when exposing web services.
 

Room For Improvement

Fivetran needs to improve database connections, user interface, data security, documentation, monitoring, cost efficiency, and customer support.
webMethods.io needs better documentation, stability, integration, performance, and user-friendly features, including cost-effective licensing and advanced capabilities.
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
If a specific feature is required, it should be integrated promptly.
If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion.
Another enhancement would be in OCR; currently, there is a huge demand for OCR capabilities. It would be perfect if webMethods.io had a built-in component for OCR, as this would be tested and allow customers to use it better than a third-party OCR application.
A special discount of at least 50% for old customers would allow us to expand our services and request more resources.
 

Setup Cost

Fivetran's pricing is seen as costly and complex, with negotiable discounts, auto-renewal issues, and tiered benefits for large enterprises.
webMethods.io is costly, ideal for big enterprises; licensing complex; negotiations common, but valued for its capabilities and support.
Our current yearly contract for Fivetran is approximately $70,000.
Regarding the pricing and licensing of webMethods.io, I don't think it's expensive when compared with the features.
 

Valuable Features

Fivetran offers seamless data integration with ease of use, robust connectors, real-time replication, and integration with dbt for efficiency.
webMethods.io provides scalable integration, intuitive API management, extensive connector support, robust security, and seamless connectivity for complex integrations.
The most valuable feature of Fivetran is its built-in connectors for a wide range of data sources.
The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline.
The ability to seamlessly integrate with a large variety of data sources is valuable.
It facilitates the exposure of around 235 services through our platform to feed various government entities across the entire country.
I believe data transformation is exceptional in webMethods.io because they have an online database that can cache the database online.

Vigneswar Jeyaraj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data replication and integration streamline processes and enhance productivity
The most valuable feature of Fivetran so far is the data replication. The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline. Even when an error occurs, it automatically tries to solve the issue without manual interaction needed. The effectiveness of Fivetran's pre-built connectors in enhancing my customer's productivity is significant because everything is easily configurable. The documentation is very clear, so there's no difficulty in finding the necessary steps. Everything is pre-documented. The pre-built connectors that are available are excellent. Most functionalities are covered, and in most cases, it works according to expectations.
