We performed a comparison between Alteryx Designer and Fivetran based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"It has great UI."
"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."
"The solution is easy to integrate and user-friendly."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"The solution is user-friendly."
"Alteryx is quite easy to use, learn, and understand as a product."
"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"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 can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"I would like to be able to include small snippets of code inside of the solution. The tool has only drag-and-drop features to make it easy to use, but sometimes I feel like this makes it more complicated."
"When it comes to the pivoting part, the drill-through option is not there in Alteryx."
"Based on my experience, the tool could be improved by providing sample reports or pre-configured workflows tailored to specific industries, like finance. It needs to integrate an AI chatbot as well."
"An improvement for Alteryx Designer would be faster bug fixes and updates."
"Alteryx Designer's cost should be improved."
"Optimizing processing times is one area I would like to see improved in Alteryx Designer. Sometimes, the workflows take an extremely long time to run. There are days when I have had to wait two to three hours for a single process to complete. There needs to be a functionality to split the processes."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"When configuring the Logix, the UA could be improved."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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 customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
