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.
Mohamed Moustafa - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good scalability, strong stability and seamless integration
The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive. It was a major plus. The integration process was smooth. Oracle's security is good and significantly better than that of other solutions I've encountered. Previously, we had separate data interfaces for 15 concrete mixing plants, requiring manual document creation in Oracle. Now, with integrated automation, production has become much easier and more efficient over the past three years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"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 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."
"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"This solution can maintain a large volume of data and is flexible to what data it can handle. The performance is very good."
"The user interface is really user-friendly and intuitive."
 

Cons

"If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion."
"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."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"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."
"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."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."
"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."
"The solution could improve by adding more advanced features."
"There is room for improvement in the pricing."
 

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."
"The solution is affordable."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
