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.…

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."
"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 biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
"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."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
