Featured Reviews

Vigneswar Jeyaraj - PeerSpot reviewer
Real-time data replication and integration streamline processes and enhance productivity
The most valuable feature of Fivetran so far is the data replication. The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline. Even when an error occurs, it automatically tries to solve the issue without manual interaction needed. The effectiveness of Fivetran's pre-built connectors in enhancing my customer's productivity is significant because everything is easily configurable. The documentation is very clear, so there's no difficulty in finding the necessary steps. Everything is pre-documented. The pre-built connectors that are available are excellent. Most functionalities are covered, and in most cases, it works according to expectations.
Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"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 user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."
"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."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"It provides essential features such as continuous monitoring of all interfaces are crucial for our needs."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The initial setup is easy."
"With the latest version what I find to be the most valuable are the REST, SuccessFactors, and Ariba Network adapters."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The solution is easy to use."
"It is simple to transfer files."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"It would be beneficial to enhance the ease of implementing new projects and improve overall stability in our implementations."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The solution could improve by making it more user-friendly by limiting the code required. We have to add some code in some cases where we need complex logic or some other functions. If this was able to be done in a more simplified manner then it would save a lot of effort and time."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"SAP Process Orchestration breaks down sometimes."
"The user interface of SAP Process Orchestration should be more modern to enhance its appeal. It can seem complicated and outdated to new users."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"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 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."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
