Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues.""Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target.""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 most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized.""The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it.""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.""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,.""Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."

More Fivetran Pros →

"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL).""It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies.""It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation.""Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."

Cons
"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.""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.""Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors.""The environment must be more development-friendly.""I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies.""The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure.""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.""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."

More Fivetran Cons →

"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level.""Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized.""To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "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've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
  • "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."

  • "I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
  • "It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
  • "The prices needs to be lower."
  • "It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
  • "Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
  • "It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
  • "The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
  • "It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
