ROI

Sentiment score
6.5
Fivetran enhances efficiency and saves resources by reducing data engineering needs, though its cost may limit financial returns.
Sentiment score
6.9
Talend Data Management Platform improves efficiency and cost savings with fast integration and easy deployment, benefiting many users.
It saves us the effort of having one to two data engineers managing the tasks that Fivetran handles.
We actually achieved the first 18 months worth of work in the first six months.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
6.2
Fivetran's support is responsive and effective, with enterprise plans offering especially timely assistance despite occasional delays.
Sentiment score
5.3
Talend excels in initial support with responsive interactions, but users seek faster escalations and improved technical documentation.
If they could provide support more quickly, that would be great.
The technical support provided by Fivetran has generally been good, with a response time and competence that I would rate as good.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
7.2
Fivetran scales effectively for all business sizes with adaptable costs, handling large data well but may incur higher expenses.
Sentiment score
7.6
Talend Data Management Platform offers strong scalability, integrating with cloud and Docker, suitable for large-scale enterprise operations.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.9
Fivetran is praised for stability and reliability, with strong data accuracy, self-recovery, and minimal downtime, despite rare issues.
Sentiment score
7.1
Talend Data Management Platform is stable and reliable, but issues may arise with upgrades, performance, and external systems.
They have 99.9% accuracy on the data load and they maintain transparency.
During the duration of the time that we used Fivetran, it was highly stable.
We have not encountered many issues with remote engines, and the interfaces are properly developed.
 

Room For Improvement

Fivetran needs to improve database connections, user interface, data security, documentation, monitoring, cost efficiency, and customer support.
Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
From a cost perspective, if the number of connectors is lesser, then Fivetran is not the most cost-efficient option.
Improvement in existing connectors with new features is desirable.
If Fivetran can build in more transformations, that would be really helpful in my opinion.
On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something.
Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.
 

Setup Cost

Fivetran's pricing is seen as costly and complex, with negotiable discounts, auto-renewal issues, and tiered benefits for large enterprises.
Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
Our current yearly contract for Fivetran is approximately $70,000.
 

Valuable Features

Fivetran offers seamless data integration with ease of use, robust connectors, real-time replication, and integration with dbt for efficiency.
Talend Data Management Platform offers high-performance data integration, real-time access, advanced monitoring, and user-friendly features for efficient operations.
The most valuable feature of Fivetran is its built-in connectors for a wide range of data sources.
The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline.
The ability to seamlessly integrate with a large variety of data sources is valuable.
Having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial.

Real-time data replication and integration streamline processes and enhance productivity
The most valuable feature of Fivetran so far is the data replication. The real-time data replication is what I see best in the market where it reduces the overhead of customers needing to maintain the pipeline. Even when an error occurs, it automatically tries to solve the issue without manual interaction needed. The effectiveness of Fivetran's pre-built connectors in enhancing my customer's productivity is significant because everything is easily configurable. The documentation is very clear, so there's no difficulty in finding the necessary steps. Everything is pre-documented. The pre-built connectors that are available are excellent. Most functionalities are covered, and in most cases, it works according to expectations.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.
