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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"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 ease of setting up the connectors and transformations is highly valuable."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Overall, I would rate Fivetran nine out of ten."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The solution's customer service is good."
 

Cons

"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"I would like to see an improvement in the support offered by Fivetran."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is reasonably expensive"
"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."
"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"The solution is affordable."
"The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
"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."
"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."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"It is a low-cost solution."
