Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature

We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.

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

"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."

"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."

"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 important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."

"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."

"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."

"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 ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."

"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."

"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."

"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."

"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."

"In our case, we ultimately did not end up using Fivetran because we were able to do custom connects at a lower cost compared to Fivetran. From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option."

"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."

"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."

"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."

"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."

"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 connections with SAP must be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."

"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."

"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."

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

"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 can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."

"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 product is reasonably expensive"
