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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity and scalability are the strongest features of Fivetran."
"The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"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,."
"Fivetran's technical support is really good, and if you're on their enterprise plan, they usually respond within an hour and keep you continuously updated on progress."
"It is easy for users to get accustomed to the tool due to its gentle learning curve and clear error transparency."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"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."
"The experience of using SDK connectors can be improved, as it lacks computational power, which is an area that needs enhancement."
"The biggest area for improvement is in customization, particularly in how Fivetran socializes its tools."
"Fivetran could improve in the area of customization, especially in how they socialize their tools."
"Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
"There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high."
"It can get expensive if you're sending a lot of data through Fivetran."
"In our case, we ultimately did not end up using Fivetran because we were able to do custom connects at a lower cost compared to Fivetran. From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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"
"The solution is affordable."
"I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
