Featured Reviews

Mediha Šiljić - PeerSpot reviewer
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.
Snehasish Das - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies
The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming. Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"SysTrack load is the best feature."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"It was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."
"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."
"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."
 

Cons

"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."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."
"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."
"There is room for improvement in query tuning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"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."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"The solution is affordable."
"I rate the pricing a six out of ten."
"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 pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
