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.

Fire-and-forget solution with a great infrastructure

Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal. I would also like to see more exotic connectors. Stitch is based on a single framework, which means you can build your own tab. That is not a problem and I have done it in the past for some use cases with open-source tools and it was great, but it would still be nice to have a shortcut. With more exotic connectors, we could put in minimal effort into introducing new integrations, which would enable us to quickly gather more customers in the long run. You need at least one week to do the integration. What Stitch can do is open the framework for how we can build or contribute to new integrators. They could even make it open-source.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

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

"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."

"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,."

"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."

More Fivetran pros

"The most valuable feature of Stitch for us is ease of use. This solution is fire-and-forget. All an organization has to do is set up the connection or integration and move on."

Cons

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

"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."

"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."

"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."

"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."

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

"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"

"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 Fivetran cons

"Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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