Fivetran Primary Use Case

Erik Jones - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of BI and Analytics at HyperScience

We have a number of different data sources that we collect information in from; for example, Salesforce for sales, Marketo for marketing, NetSuite for finance. We wanted to centralize all that data into a data warehouse, which is why we use Fivetran to manage all of those data pipelines.

Our company uses the solution for the extraction part of data warehousing and ETL or ELT processing. Once we extract, we use Snowflake to database as soon as possible. Later on, we process the data. 

We currently have five to ten users with no significant growth plans. We recently added one new team member and he is already accessing the solution.

This solution was previously called HVR, which stands for "high-volume replicator." It is now part of Fivetran. It is useful when you need to migrate a large volume of data. We use it for massive data migrations from 30 or 40 sources, including the file system database and some transitional systems. 

In our case, we had historical and active data. Everything was in on-premise Oracle databases. The historical data itself was around 4.5 terabytes. Fivetran is currently deployed in an AWS EC2 instance.

Database Administrator at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees

I'm responsible for replicating the data from one source to another. It is constantly running, and we do nothing other than looking at monitoring reports. Once it is established, it is pretty much hands-off.

We are not using its latest version. We are slow to migrate to the new version. We wait until there is a need to upgrade, and we are generally one or two versions behind.

For this project, we are using both Fivetran and HVR; however, HVR has a limited number of connections, with only around 30 sources, whereas Fivetran has around 200 source connections. Therefore, if we are unable to connect with HVR, we are connecting with Fivetran.

Fivetran is a SaaS solution, so it is always on a public cloud.

We use FiveTran to do data integration and pipelines into data warehouses for analytics. We do the typical use case of bringing in from our internal systems, data syncing, change data capture, as well as bringing from third-party systems, like Salesforce, NetSuite, and even Google Analytics and web platforms. We use the solution primarily in an ELT framework.
