Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.

Streamlines daily data workflows and has improved reliability for complex business integrations
One area where Integrate.io Platform could improve is around visibility and debugging. While the logging is helpful, it can sometimes take time to trace issues across multiple steps in a pipeline, especially when flows become complex. A more streamlined way to track data through each stage or clearer error messaging would make troubleshooting faster and more intuitive. Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds. Having more advanced customization options without sacrificing the ease of use would be a big plus, in my opinion. Documentation clarity around existing pipelines was also something I felt could be better supported. Since integrations tend to evolve over time, having strong built-in documentation features or easier ways to understand dependencies between jobs would have helped, especially when onboarding someone new. I only stayed with this client for six months, so we needed to bring or train their team members to do this. Revisiting flows after a while would have been nice. The last thing would be performance transparency could be improved. Jobs generally run reliably, but having clearer insights into performance, such as bottlenecks, processing time per step, or optimizing suggestions would make it easier to fine-tune workflows as data volume grows. Part of my job, and what the client in this case wanted, was to scale in the future without having to change to another tool, so that would help a lot. I would say the platform is solid, but these kinds of improvements that I mentioned would make it even more efficient to manage at scale and over time.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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 ease of usability is the most valuable feature; it's very easy and quick to set up and it also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface, where 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 can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"SysTrack load is the best feature."
"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 user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."
"Integrate.io Platform has helped simplify my data pipelines, as it is really good with Salesforce sync."
"Integrate.io Platform has positively impacted my organization by reducing a lot of our workloads because we can make this replication faster and connect it with other connectors, and it also gives us this GPU that allows us to work faster."
"I think the platform helped them move forward towards a more streamlined, reliable, and scalable way of handling their data operations."
 

Cons

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"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."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"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."
"It can get expensive if you're sending a lot of data through Fivetran."
"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."
"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."
"Customer support could be better. We often get replies that are delayed, and sometimes there is a lot of back and forth."
"Another improvement would be flexibility in handling edge cases. For standard transformations, it works well, but when business logic gets more complex, it can feel a bit limited without introducing workarounds."
 

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."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"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."
"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."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"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."
