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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Fivetran is an easy-to-deploy solution for organizations looking at integrating a wide variety of data sources."
"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."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"It has improved the way our organization functions."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"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,."
"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."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"WSO2 Enterprise Integrator may cost you about twenty-five thousand dollars annually per year compared to IBM Cloud Pak, which would cost you around one million dollars."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."
 

Cons

"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"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 would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"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."
"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."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"We had some challenges with the installation of this solution."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"When you have a lot of workflows and complex use cases, pricing goes down as you use it more."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
"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"
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"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 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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"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 pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
