Has accelerated data integration workflows and supports seamless development of custom connectors
I've worked extensively with Fivetran, mainly used for extraction purposes, and I've worked with the transformation element in it as well. Fivetran not only has built-in connectors but also provides SDK connectors, allowing us to develop our own connectors in an easy manner. I don't have to write raw Python scripts or dumping scripts; it offers straightforward examples and guidelines, making it much simpler to develop custom connectors inside Fivetran. We've been able to develop many custom connectors as well, which is unique and beneficial for having everything centralized instead of having those connectors located elsewhere. One of the best features by Fivetran is its clean, simple, and intuitive UI. It includes a transformation section where I can deploy my DBT queries and scripts. It also supplies good tracking capabilities for billing estimates and user permissions, allowing for customization to the desired level. The number of connectors it has remains a standout feature, and within connectors, the options available are very helpful. Although it sometimes appears static due to its built-in nature, it offers good flexibility for data transformation and caching, which I appreciate because it saves us extensive script-writing time.

Backup storage has shrunk dramatically with deduplication but still needs stronger security options
The air gap feature is something I'd really like to see in QoreStor. There's no native air gap capability right now, and for security-conscious environments, that's a gap. The configuration export is also limited in QoreStor. If you want to document your setup or migrate configuration to a new instance, it requires more manual work than it should.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"HVR Software's most valuable features are that it's simple to use and allows us to use the command line to quickly complete the entire universal replicative setup."
"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The ease of usability is the most valuable feature; it's very easy and quick to set up and it also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface, where for GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"I would rate QoreStor a ten out of ten for what it offers for the price."
"This software solution can be installed on many different types of hardware, which makes it very flexible. We can run it on virtual machines or virtual servers, providing convenience for solutions of varying sizes, from small to large."
"Overall, it simplifies the management of backup and gives me a more secure feeling that my data is going to be available if I need to retrieve it."
"Not having to be onsite to swap tapes on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis, alone, has really paid for its usage through the savings in time."
"Quest QoreStor is very stable compared to our previous solution."
"Quest QoreStor definitely saved us money."
"The features we use for the data deduplication are nice because we're able to back up a much larger amount of data, yet it doesn't necessarily take up that much data on the devices."
"If storage costs are a problem, whether on-premises or cloud, QoreStor is worth a serious look."
 

Cons

"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"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 experience of using SDK connectors can be improved, as it lacks computational power, which is an area that needs enhancement."
"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 is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"Support is one point of improvement for Quest QoreStor. Support is sometimes not adequate."
"They need to increase their maximum capacity. Other than that, they're doing a pretty good job."
"The setup of the software is definitely not the easiest thing in the world."
"The ransomware protection of QoreStor could use improvement."
"The installation could use improvement. The initial installation was a little touchy and it's not really user-installable. You have to have a connection to support to install."
"The management interface is in need of improvement. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the web management tools appears clunky, and not super intuitive."
"The importance of support is significant to me. I was working for a service provider, and all of our customers had a Quest or warning. Sometimes the support really underperforms."
"There can be some kind of monitoring solutions to alert users to issues with the appliance or software, making it easy for customers to monitor their systems in the field."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 solution is affordable."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
"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."
"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."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"The pricing is good. It is competitive for a managed services provider. I like the ability to pay by the terabyte, allowing for an incremental cost that we and our customers can afford, so the solution grows with the customer."
"Its pricing model is very attractive. You have one price, and you get everything from QoreStor."
"Quest QoreStor's pricing is affordable. We evaluated Veeam, a well-known company for backup solutions, but found their pricing to be quite high. Veeam's price was almost double. For us, Quest QoreStor is very affordable."
"The cost is per terabyte, and overall, the cost was reasonable when compared to some competitors."
