Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"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 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 product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"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."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"It is a very scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"From a functional standpoint, it's been, pretty much bulletproof. I have never gone to a snapshot and not been able to do what I needed to do."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"Compared to the traditional way we did backups, with Snapshot it takes us less time. It has improved my organization by saving us time."
"NetApp Snapshot's most valuable features are the snapshot capabilities, you can take snaps of shared directories, files, and VMs."
"It centralizes your data."
"You never have to worry about maintaining millions of files stored across several thousands of virtual machines."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the repurposing and backup features."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"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."
"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 interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"The solution needs to ensure it has higher availability or business continuity."
"The licensing cost could be improved."
"The dashboards are in need of improvement."
"The initial setup process of NetApp Snapshot is not easy and needs improvement."
"I would like some sort of notification that lets me know when a snapshot is done or not done."
"NetApp Snapshot's price could improve to allow them to capture more market shares."
"The initial setup of NetApp Snapshot is not straightforward. It's not something that you can do just by clicking on the next step button. It has to be designed and it has to be implemented according to your network capabilities and the use case scenario."
"The company could update their products more regularly."
