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

"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."

"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."

"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."

"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."

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

"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"

"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."

More Fivetran pros

"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."

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

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

"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."

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

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

Cons

"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."

"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."

"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."

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

"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."

"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 would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."

More Fivetran cons

"Support could be improved. They lack knowledge."

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

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

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

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

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

"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."

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."

"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."

"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."

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

"The product is reasonably expensive"

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."
