Room For Improvement

Fivetran needs to improve database connections, user interface, data security, documentation, monitoring, cost efficiency, and customer support.
Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion.
Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.

Vigneswar Jeyaraj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data replication and integration streamline processes and enhance productivity
The most valuable feature of Fivetran so far is the data replication. The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline. Even when an error occurs, it automatically tries to solve the issue without manual interaction needed. The effectiveness of Fivetran's pre-built connectors in enhancing my customer's productivity is significant because everything is easily configurable. The documentation is very clear, so there's no difficulty in finding the necessary steps. Everything is pre-documented. The pre-built connectors that are available are excellent. Most functionalities are covered, and in most cases, it works according to expectations.
Jitendra Jena - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
