Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
It saves us the effort of having one to two data engineers managing the tasks that Fivetran handles.
In my experience, we have seen a return on investment, with results visible within a week.
The technical support provided by Fivetran has generally been good, with a response time and competence that I would rate as good.
Whenever we faced issues with data volume, the support team helped us by suggesting solutions like breaking the data into chunks.
I reach out to the professional services team or customer success team for technical support, and they provide immediate responses.
Workato's support is robust, featuring first and second-level support.
There are scalability limitations with Workato.
During the initial data loads with large volumes, Workato was unable to handle the data effectively, which indicates stability issues under high loads.
To handle more than 50,000 records, I use scripting actions like Python or JavaScript to process large data in chunks.
Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable.
One area for improvement is the CI/CD pipeline, which lacks a version control system similar to GitHub for easier deployment.
Workato struggles with scalability when handling high volumes of data, such as terabytes, requiring chunking for initial data loads.
Our current yearly contract for Fivetran is approximately $70,000.
While the upfront cost is high due to task-based pricing, the cost is relatively low in terms of development because Workato provides necessary connectors for integration use cases.
The most valuable feature of Fivetran is its built-in connectors for a wide range of data sources.
It comes with pre-built connectors, eliminating the need to write APIs.
AI automation simplifies integration development by understanding requirements from prompts and creating the necessary automation.
Workato reduces total development time as it generates code seamlessly and integrates with SQL databases or APIs through configuration.
