We performed a comparison between Fivetran and IBM App Connect based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"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."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"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."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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 most valuable feature is the security."
"Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"Provides good security features."
"There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"The most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"IBM App Connect is scalable. From the administration side, they need to improve the RBAC model, as well as the clustering of this product. It will be good if we can start up the cluster, via IBM Connect Console. Some other products like MuleSoft, are providing this type of administration. MuleSoft is easy to use and user friendly."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
