We performed a comparison between EDB Postgres Replication Server and Fivetran based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about NetApp, Fivetran, Dell Technologies and others in Data Replication."The most valuable features of EDB Postgres Replication Server are the many in-built functionalities, such as streaming. When compared to others solutions it is highly secure and does not have any breakage in replication. The replication is very fast. Additionally, in other solutions, the databases need to have a lot of manual intervention but with EDB Postgres Replication Server it is not needed."
"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 simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"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 product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"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."
"We tried to set up a reverse master-master set up, but currently, it is not available. it can be done only via logical replication using a paid version of BDR or some other technology. They allow like master-master. MySQL has already supported master-master and streaming."
"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 environment must be more development-friendly."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"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."
