Room For Improvement

Fivetran needs to improve database connections, user interface, data security, documentation, monitoring, cost efficiency, and customer support.
MuleSoft Composer needs better platform integrations, interface, scalability, AI integration, and support for complex data and API sharing challenges.
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users.
If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion.
 

Setup Cost

Fivetran's pricing is seen as costly and complex, with negotiable discounts, auto-renewal issues, and tiered benefits for large enterprises.
MuleSoft Composer is considered costly, especially in Brazil and India, with users recommending a 20%-30% price reduction.
Our current yearly contract for Fivetran is approximately $70,000.
 

Valuable Features

Fivetran offers seamless data integration with ease of use, robust connectors, real-time replication, and integration with dbt for efficiency.
MuleSoft Composer offers Salesforce integration, ease of use, API sharing, prebuilt connectors, and effective data handling, monitoring, and notifications.
The most valuable feature of Fivetran is its built-in connectors for a wide range of data sources.
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.
The ability to seamlessly integrate with a large variety of data sources is valuable.

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.
Prince Barai - PeerSpot reviewer
The prebuilt connectors save a lot of time and money, but the customer support and price must be improved
Our customer’s system is very old. We are trying to upgrade it. We are extracting data from the system and sending it to Salesforce. The product is a good option if we want to build process automation for data. It can be done quickly through the tool. We need not do coding and waste our time and efforts. The ease of learning depends on the person who is learning the product. It depends on whether they come from a developer background. It would be easy to learn if they have some experience in coding and have worked on integrations. I haven’t faced many challenges while scaling our integration solutions with MuleSoft Composer. The drag-and-drop interface has not impacted our project deployment time much. The customer support and price can be improved. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
