Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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 important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"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."
"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."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"It has a built-in automatic scheduling environment."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"Quickly develops a data warehouse for our organization with documentation and can track back/forward features."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Customization could be better."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
