Software which can be used as a good connector.
What do you like best about the product?
The best part is that it has a very user friendly User Interface and also shows logs in case you have a connector. The connectors used are also easy to manage with Frivetran UI.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesn't have a lot of connectors build right out. We have to manually build connector using AWS lambda and then integrate with Fivetran. For some the above can be a pro but for us it is a con.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting two services like Snowflake and Gainsight or connecting Snowflake with OpenAir. The benefit Fivetran provides is that it gives a middleware between these systems and allow data transfer.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you want software for data transfer or data replication between two systems/services, you can go by Fivetran.

Easy drag and drop functionality works great! also gives us the power to automate data integration and manage the different sources we have
What do you dislike about the product?
We still investigating the tool and all the features, i do not have a complaint yet
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We can deploy connectors in minutes and also make our life easy with zero maintenance.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I truly recommend it. It would improve your everyday work.
Great tool to streamline your data process
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is great for streamlining the data process and bring data from various sources into a single place. As a data scientist, this saves me countless hours dealing with data pipelining / uploading / downloading. I can focus on the work itself instead of wasting time just to figure out how to get data into a place where I can run code.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it could be made even easier to connect various data sources; the fewer clicks the better. Especially around google sheets, I wish the process could be more streamlined and requires less URL copy pasting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing data from a variety of sources into the datalake. I work with Excel, google sheet, csv, and other types of data when working with cross-function teams, but data scientist often needs to put the data into some sort of database before meaningful work can be carried out. Fivetran saves me countless of hours with that.
Solves for issues around ingesting external data
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to set up CSV exports for data that lives outside of internal systems
What do you dislike about the product?
Would be great to have some sort of version control
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is used to ingest external data that is manually entered in via gsheets. It is also used to ingest data from other sources like Salesforce
Required Software for Cutting Edge Data Teams
What do you like best about the product?
I love how easy it is to set up and how reliable it is. It rarely has downtime / syncing issues. If I do, I can submit a support ticket and will get a quick response.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish all the connectors I used internally were available in their connector marketplace.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I no longer have to think about how I am getting data into the warehouse. It has freed up engineering resources to do analysis instead of data capture.
Easy ETL GUI!
What do you like best about the product?
Easy drag and drop functionality works great! The tools make it very easy to move data stored locally on my computer into our database, and this saves me and my team time and headaches caused by other less functional tools
What do you dislike about the product?
File names have to be precisely the same or the data appends instead of replaces
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data into our AWS Data Warehouse from csv
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you are considering using this software, I would say go ahead and live that dream. You should buy this tool because it will improve your everyday work and who doesn't want their job to be more accessible more fun, take less time, have more impact, and use more words such that your review receives a higher grade and you get a free gift card for filling out all the boxes. While the AI is adept at telling how many unique words I am using, it fails to capture that I just rambling in this final section in order to get my free gift card. I really just want to receive my free gift card so if you are reading this, know that when you buy the tool, you yourself will have an opportunity to complete a review of this nature and also get your own free gift card? Who doesn't love that? You could buy legos, or you could buy a scooter or you could just save the gift card for when it's someone's birthday and then get them a gift!
Less maintenance, more time to work on other things.
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes landing our third-party platform data much more manageable, giving us time back to work on more custom solutions for our data. What used to be work that only Data Engineering could manage can now be controlled by other less technical people.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some data sources don't have built-in connectors, so data engineering still needs additional work for those sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran solves the problem of limited data engineering bandwidth. It opens up the ability to manage data sources to a whole new group of people outside of data engineering.
Easy user experience for PM's
What do you like best about the product?
As a data-driven PM I frequently find myself needing to create new tables with data. It's super simple to upload CSV's to fivetran, which create tables within snowlake I can query again. Major time saver.
What do you dislike about the product?
No complaints myself! I can't speak to the integration of fivetran itself but it seemed straightforward for the team that worked on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran enables me to engage with data from multiple sources without complex SQL to create new tables.
Manage multiple systems integrated into our database with ease
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is simple and easy to navigate
What do you dislike about the product?
consulting services to streamline integrations
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use fivetran to pull data from our core operations systems into a single database
Excellent for connecting to third party APIs but could have more information in the web interface
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is excellent for pulling data from troublesome APIs that are constantly changing into a staging database with minimal effort required. It allows us to bring in lots of data for our own customers without needing to build 100% custom connections for things that may only be used for a single client. The interface is extremely easy to use and very straight forward for most of the connectors. The trial period that they recently added to each of the connectors is also very nice, it essentially allows us to connect to a customers data and validate that the correct information is coming over before we have to pay for the rows being brought in.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the instructions for gaining access/authentication with the source data could be a little better. I dont really think this is fivetran's fault as much as the data source themselves in most cases. It would also be nice if it was possible to see the specific abilities of a connector before establishing a connection. i.e. can a specific connector only pull in CSVs or can it work will all sorts of datatypes etc. The other area that could be improved would be if the internal logging for the connectors was a little more expansive. In many cases if a connector errors or has a warning it does so silently and only provides basic information. There is the ability to connect Fivetran's logging to a database for advanced logging and more information but ideally this information should also be present in the web interface.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using fivetran to connect to less common customer datasources to bring their data into our own platform. This is extremely helpful becuase we do not need to use our own development resources to build out a connection to something we may only use for a single client. This allows us to spend more time focusing on improving our own product while still leveraging the additional connections present by Fivetran. One of the biggest benefits we have seen from Fivetran is that ability to trial and validate connections before the data is brought over.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would reccomend Fivetran for any company looking to pull in data from a large and diverse amount of connections. The ability to validate the connections in a free trial period is something very unique to them and is an invaluable feature especially when attempting to bring in a dataset that you don't yet have experience with.
