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.

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 simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The solution is stable, and we've never faced any stability issues."
"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."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Fivetran's technical support is really good, and if you're on their enterprise plan, they usually respond within an hour and keep you continuously updated on progress."
"It takes less time to replicate files between two servers."
"Customer Service: Second to none Technical Support: Second to none"
"In Version 7.xx the most valuable feature to me is being able to carry out a test full server failover in which case the primary server is still up and running."
"It gives us the possibility to migrate/protect customer servers and data in the simplest way."
 

Cons

"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"Their pricing has increased over the years, so it's not seen as an advantage anymore."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"Yes I encountered issues with deployment. The information provided in the guide just stated about 2 or 3 communication ports but even after these ports are enabled there are still issues with the 2 servers communicating via Double-Take."
"Not such a good coverage of the most widely used Linux server distributions, so many issues happen while migrating these servers."
 

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."
"The product is reasonably expensive"
"The solution is affordable."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."
"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."
