We performed a comparison between Fivetran and NetApp SnapMirror based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"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."
"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,."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"Overall, the product is very good. It's an easy to use tool."
"There are a lot of features that are excellent. The data compression during the transfer, for example, is good. The replication is great. The durability of the solution and the speed of the data moving from one site to another is impressive."
"The product has good performance."
"This solution is easy to implement and easy to use."
"Data protection is a valuable feature."
"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."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"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."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"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."
"There is probably some limitations when it comes to the scalability of the solution."
"In the next release, I would like to see Data reduction included and WAN optimization."
"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."
"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."
"We must be able to integrate Flash Pool with SnapMirror."
"In the next release, I would like to get an active IP number solution."
"Compression and deduplication could be improved."
"If they can make the application free like other vendors or include it in all the packages, it would be great."
