We performed a comparison between Fivetran and webMethods Integration Server 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."The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"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."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"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."
"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,."
"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."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"It is a bundled product stack for A2A and B2B usage. It is one of the best products which I have used during my integration career."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"High throughput and excellent scalability."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Ease of implementation and flexibility to hold the business logic are the most valuable features."
"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."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The patching of infrastructure is not very smooth and improved authentication should be added in the next feature."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"The UI for the admin console is very old. It hasn't been updated for years and is pretty much the same one that we started with. This is something that could be refreshed and made more modern."
"Other products have been using AI and cloud enhancements, but webMethods Integration Server is still lagging in that key area."
"The stability of the various modules of the product suite have been a bit of a concern lately. Though their support team is always easy to reach out to, I would prefer it not come to that."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
