Providing the best all-around Headless solution but at a high price
What do you like best about the product?
We used Fivetran with their Headless Powered by Fivetran solution and it's incredibly helpful, quick and easy to setup and it handles pretty much everything, user authentication included (which others don't).
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing based on number of rows makes it nearly impossible to be able to predict before-hand how much each connector is going to use and in addition to that ends up being quite expensive (compared to price per number of connectors as many other providers do)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralize marketing and business data from our Agency's clients in order to provide them with better insights and additional analysis in a quick and semi-automated way.

What do you dislike about the product?
Some bad surprises sometimes on number of rows synced.
Might not be Fivetran fault, but more about the source of data.
Yet the sudden spikes for e.g. Hubspot monthly is kinda a bad surprise sometimes.

Making all of our tools' (SFDC, Sheets, etc.) data queryable in a single place (Snowflake)
Very happy despite a rocky start
What do you like best about the product?
I found the Shopify connector to be the best of all the solutions I evaluated, and has worked really efficiently and smoothly since the implementation.The product notifications are also relevant, inisghtful and timeous while the portal interface is also clean, simple and easy to use. Overall, a really solid product at a great pricepoint for what I need.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had a bumpy start where the support provided during the trial phase was really not what I would have expected from a global company, however once the issues were resolved the solution has worked flawlessly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating customised reporting and analysis out of a platform like Shopify is not easy, which is something that Fivetran has allowed us to do in an efficient way. Simple, easy to use connection to move the data to an environment in which we have more control and flexibility is exactly what we wanted, and got!
Fivetran - Expensive but Excellent
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes it incredibly easy to get started with replicating data from various source systems into data warehouse. I couldn't believe how quick and easy it was to select the tables and columns I wanted and then with a few clicks get the data replicating.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it's a bit glitchy, but usually they work things out -- even having a technical support technician jump into the account (after being granted access) and troubleshooting. There were a couple times we had to do a full re-sync or set things back up, but overall it has been easy and straightforward.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran helps us solve the problem of replicating data from our source systems (primarily MySQL RDS on AWS) into our data warehouse (AWS Redshift). They helped us avoid bringing a data engineer on board to handle this, at a significant cost savings.
Fivetran Review
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to setup connections and get up and running. The connectors are stable and the documentation is comprehensive and kept up to date.
What do you dislike about the product?
Managing spend takes some getting used to. You can easily end up spending more than you need to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran has allowed me to centalise my data into a data warehouse for reporting.
It is necessary for our service infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
It is very helpful that I can integrate multiple product with my Big Query.
Even though it is difficult to analyze the perfomance of the product, when Fivetran synced, I can analyze a lot of values via Big Query.

What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little bit annoying that a lot of data would be synced and the cost would be so high depend of the service to sync. So, it is required to tune the table.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran resolving the problem with data extraction of the service I use. Without Fivetran, it is needed to create API request by myself just for exporting data.
Lots of connectors and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
Our criteria were the availability of SaaS connectors and ease of use, because we only wanted one extraction tool for everything to keep complexity low. Fivetran had a few connectors that nobody else had and the setup was simple with UI and programmatic options.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing of note. Back in the day, the pricing was steep with heavy use, but that has gotten better since.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from SaaS tools that our teams use to the data warehouse and analyse it together for richer insights not possible in those tools alone.
Fivetran makes things simple
What do you like best about the product?
Frees up engineering time on automated tasks
What do you dislike about the product?
Inconsistent pricing can be an issues sometimes
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Speed to delivery and data engineering time tired up on boring tasks
Breaks too often, unhelpful support, expensive
What do you like best about the product?
It usually works, nothing much to add here.
What do you dislike about the product?
Providers break very often. It takes weeks for support to resolve such issues.
It takes days for support to respond to urgent issues
Some API methods have ridiculous designs, e.g. updating the schema: you have to perform 7 API calls in a row to achieve a single change in the config.
There's no API versioning; requests and responses just get updated.
Pricing is extreme. Self-hosted solutions, for example, Airbyte, are identical in terns of setup and maintenance efforts, but you only pay for hosting.
Last, but not least, it's not fast at all.
