We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Palantir Foundry based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"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,."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The data lineage is great."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
