Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."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 simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"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."
"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."
"I like the data vault implementations."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"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 environment must be more development-friendly."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"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."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
