Estuary Flow

What do you like best about the product?

Implementing and using this platform has been very straightforward. The step-by-step guides make it easy to set up new sources and destinations. We began with only a few sources and destinations, but as our company grow, so did our reliance on Estuary. Estuary was able to scale to match our company growth.

Our sources and destinations are continuously updated, and Estuary consistently keeps our data freshness within 15 to 30 minutes of the source. The platform has proven to be highly stable. Rarely there is an outage, but when there is it is resolved promptly.

The range of sources and destinations options Estuary provides is impressive, and they are continually adding more.

On several occasions, we encountered issues importing data from our primary vendor's database, always due to the vendor updating their tables in a non-standard way. The Estuary support team found a solution to ensure our data was replicated correctly every time.

I cannot say enough positive things about their support. They are always willing to tackle the problem and come up with a solution.

What do you dislike about the product?

The only downside I've encountered is when a new option is introduced, its default sometimes doesn't match behavior before the option was added. While not causing issues with the existing tables, it did cause an issue when adding a new table to an existing replication. Even though the new table was added the same as the others, the data wouldn't replicate as it did with the other tables.

Fortunately, the support team was always able to clarify what had happened and guide me on how to adjust the new option to fit our needs.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our main vendor does not update some of their database tables in a standard way, which leads to difficulty accurately replicating the data from those tables. When this happens, we reach out to our vendor to understand their update methods. Then contact Estuary support to describe what the vendor is doing and how it affects the replicated data. Each time, Estuary has managed to develop a workaround for the issue caused by the vendor and able to accurately replicate the data on our side. Even when it required custom coding by Estuary specifically for our situation.

What do you like best about the product?

We’ve been using Estuary Flow for 9 months now, and our experience has been consistently excellent. We were up and running in just minutes, syncing CloudSQL for Postgres with MotherDuck effortlessly. The ease of integration was remarkable — no roadblocks, no complexity. What stands out even more is the super-prompt, customer-centric support team, who consistently go above and beyond to ensure success. Their responsiveness makes all the difference, and it’s clear that they care deeply about us succeeding with their great product.

What do you dislike about the product?

Nothing, really. Minor glitches experienced in the first days (while testing our integration) were resolved promptly. We have experienced zero issues since.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Estuary Flow is solving the challenge of moving large volumes of commerce data reliably and in near-real time from our operational systems into our OLAP database, reducing the operational overhead for our team.

What do you like best about the product?

I really like the IU, is friendly and easy to understand, also the real-time works as intended, and the best part is the support they have, they respond super fast in the Slack channel and they are always willing to help. To set up a new connector is pretty easy too.

What do you dislike about the product?

Its not a dislike but I may need a few connectors that they don't have yet so Im not sure how I will solve that.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

We were using FIvetran and they don't provide real time, and thats the reason we are testing Estuary right now, as well with the nice pricing.

What do you like best about the product?

The UI/UX is seamless with plenty of free integrations to popular SaaS and PaaS tools and datalakes and datawarehouses. You pay for the volume of data you move, hence yielding a high ROI. Estuary has both cloud and on-prem capabilities, making it an extremely agile platform. On top of that, it is easy to deploy.

We use it daily and periodically to synch sources to lakehouse. Before Estuary we were using a popular integration tool, and we managed to save 10x of our bill for 1 of the source integrations. The CTO helped us cost the data flow, helping to convince our management to make the switch. It has also been highly reliable.

Slack channel provides community and Founder/CTO support, so the team listens closely.

What do you dislike about the product?

Troubleshooting errors when integrations fail. Observability of the data streams could be improved.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

The main problem it helped solve was reliability and cost.

What do you like best about the product?

- It offers support for a wide range of connectors. And if you don't find one you need—as was my case when comparing different EL tools—the team can build it for you. In my case, they implemented it within a couple of months.

- It's reliable—you can trust that what you see on the other end (e.g., your DWH) is accurate and consistent.

- The team's support is top-notch. Honestly, nothing compares to what you get with them. They're close, proactive, and genuinely invested in making things work for you. Truly a terrific experience!

- The pricing is transparent and feels fair, especially when you weigh the value you get against other competitors.

What do you dislike about the product?

- At first glance, it can look like a slightly more complex tool—and it may be, especially for someone with a purely business background. But that's only because it's built to give you more flexibility and options. Once you understand the concepts and configurations, you can actually leverage them to improve your data flows.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Estuary helps me move data from A to B—or even from one to many—at the sync frequency I choose, and it does so reliably. It saves me from having to build and maintain custom scripts or connectors myself.
