Lead Data Engineer at Sensilab

Built-in connectors offer extensive data source integration and time savings

Fivetran could improve by adapting more for technical users and by providing more options for such users. There should be more adaptability in terms of new features. If a specific feature is required, it should be integrated promptly. Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable. Enhancements around customer-focused product adaptation are also suggested.

Emmanuel Catalano

DBA at Gruppo SCAI

Offers reliable data management and simple to use but requires more intuitive configuration

I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests. A lot of the time, the support asks the same questions repeatedly, which takes time. Usually, I solve my issue myself before they give me solutions. It seems like they do not really understand my problem, even if I translate what I want to say from Italian with tools like Google Translate. Sometimes it is very difficult to communicate with them. We have some Oracle support staff in Italy whom I can reach directly, which helps, but there seems to be a problem with the support requests. It is also an issue when different Oracle representatives handle my request at different times and ask me to explain the problem again despite it being written in the support request. This makes it very frustrating. Additionally, issues arise with product understanding. For example, in dedicated infrastructure, the Oracle staff handling the support request may not be familiar with the product or suggest solutions suitable for other infrastructures but not mine. Oracle Support should know the solutions that fit my infrastructure since they manage it, not me.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."

"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."

"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."

"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."

"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."

"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

"Oracle Database generally guarantees a good response for customer use cases."

"This has significantly eased the process of migration from on-premise to cloud. Instead of configuring everything from the ground up, the Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service has made it seamless to build and render databases in cloud."

"Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service is valued for its ability to replicate data in real-time, offering significant benefits from a data perspective."

"We are heavily involved with GitHub for managing repositories, automatic deployments, and inner source projects."

"It provides a good response for external microservices applications."

"GoldenGate can aggregate various data types from different sources."

"GoldenGate's best features are the desktop security features."

Cons

"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."

"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."

"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."

"In our case, we ultimately did not end up using Fivetran because we were able to do custom connects at a lower cost compared to Fivetran. From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option."

"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."

"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."

More Fivetran cons

"More technical documentation is needed, especially in terms of mapping and conversion of data, while integration would also be very helpful."

"I am not very happy with Oracle Support. Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Pricing is rather expensive. Oracle typically prices on the higher side, and there is scope for them to reconsider the price, especially since it is a cloud service."

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."

"Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service lacks AI. If AI gets introduced in Oracle GoldenGate Cloud Service, it would be much easier to do analysis."

"Over the past four to five years, I have experienced many problems when opening support requests."

"Oracle is always adding new features. I can't think of anything that's urgent currently."

"The initial setup was a little complex, and we required support from Oracle to complete it."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."

"The solution is affordable."

"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."

"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 can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."

"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."

"The product is reasonably expensive"

More Fivetran pricing and cost advice

"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
