Accurate data and reliable

CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available

"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."

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

"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."

"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 pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."

"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."
