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 product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."

"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."

"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."

"SysTrack load is the best feature."

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

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

"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."

More Fivetran pros

"Hitachi Thin Image is stable."

"The most beneficial feature is its fast data transfer capabilities."

Cons

"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."

"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."

"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."

"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."

"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 documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."

"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."

"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."

More Fivetran cons

"Hitachi needs to improve their management software, especially the Ops Center."

"We are having problems with the speed of synchronization and transferring of data."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."

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

"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

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

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

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