We performed a comparison between Dell RecoverPoint and Fivetran based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."It is amazing because it is very easy to test with many alternative bookmarks."
"We use RecoverPoint for disaster recovery and asynchronous replication, and we use the application at a block level, not the software level. This has been tested, and it's very durable."
"The solution provides continuous data protection."
"It can replicate data from a distant location and it can scan it as well. It has continuous data replication with almost no data loss."
"The tool's most valuable feature is stability."
"RecoverPoint's most valuable feature is the automatic failover."
"It has improved RTO and RPO."
"The most valuable feature we have found in RecoverPoint is its ability to provide the lowest RPO."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"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."
"The support is horrible."
"Integration with VMware is the only thing we need to improve. Another feature I'd like to see is the ability to convert management to HTML. And the integration should also be done on the same level."
"I am waiting for block replication with VirtualBox."
"It is worth mentioning that this solution is no longer supported, primarily because it doesn't replicate between two different storage systems anymore."
"The solution normally supports only specific types and amounts of storage. If it could be increased to support much larger amounts or a wider range, it could fetch a bigger market."
"The cost of the solution is pretty high. The licensing costs may affect a company's ability to scale."
"When it comes to storage and backup, that is where scalability problems have affected us."
"The product should provide integration with new products."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"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."
"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."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
