We performed a comparison between Fivetran and SAP Process Orchestration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"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 portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"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 product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution's technical support is good."
"I rate the product's setup phase a nine on a scale of one to ten, where one is difficult and ten is easy since it is a very easy process."
"Process Orchestration fulfils the need for middleware to mediate types of connectivity."
"The solution provides very good and central logging systems. It offers high flexibility with vertical and horizontal extend capacity."
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"This is an on-premise platform and one area they can improve on is having the ability to work with SaaS solutions."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"Process Orchestration doesn't provide authentication for data sent to us, meaning we have to rely on client certificate-based or basic authentication."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"Its administration management feature needs to be simpler to use."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
