We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Talend Data Management Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"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."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"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 product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"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."
"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."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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."
"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."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
