Great software
What do you like best about the product?
Makes syncing all my data seamless. I like the interface as well as its easy to understand.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the standard practice of both created and updates columns. Also an option for slowly changing dimension to have a log oh history states of data. FT does get pricey though do when I can get the job done with stitch I would rather use them to save money.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from all sources is a huge lift without fivetran.

Amazingly valuable product to free up your eng team
What do you like best about the product?
Very dependable service. We have found that all of the integrations work exactly as you'd expect without data inconsistencies or loss
What do you dislike about the product?
Last I checked, you could only have one instance of each integration per account
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL'ing data between systems and third-party services
Easy Data Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes data integration quick and easy. Painless syncing of an external data source into your database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rare data outages. The page to refresh data often fails to update to let you know the update is complete, but that can be worked around with a page refresh.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data integrations. We've saved engineering time that we're now able to use for new features instead.
Fivetran has been a game changer for us

1. Overall product stability
2. The configurability of the connectors (setting up metrics, dimensions, tables etc.)
3. Connect cards / API options
4. Customer success team

What do you dislike about the product?
Everyone's wishlist of connectors is long and varied. As a marketing agency, we wish to have a lot more digital marketing connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran offers a really scalable way for us to add any number of data connections. This has not only helped us automate our internal dashboard needs but in fact enables us to build a product that's powered by Fivetran.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of data integration players in the market. We tried a few of them and finally are very happy with Fivetran. Their new pricing model makes it easy to deploy many connections because pricing is based on MAR (Monthly Active Rows) instead of per connection.
Fivetran for marketing
What do you like best about the product?
UI is simple. Very easy to setup connectors. Documentation links you to the exact steps needed to setup connectors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer service and time to address issues can be slow. We are finding a lot of vendors/systems that they dont have connectors for. ETA on new connectors is not transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Really easy to setup integrations. Low maintenance. Reliable when it is setup.
User-friendly data connections
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to get connections set up
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues. Does everything I need it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran makes it easy to set up data connections across a variety of sources
Good tool to use for sync up source data
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up and configure the tool, did not use many features as the project did not require it
upside -- easy to monitor the loads

What do you dislike about the product?
failures, resulting in a delay in updates, most of the job failures are getting fixed by themselves, which makes it difficult to answer the root cause
Many times failed but delay in the response from "fivetran "on real-time data, causing the reality of the tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sync up the source system to the reporting database, very useful for getting real-time reporting
the project is to sync up the source data for reporting in near real-time ( 15 minutes interval)

Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use and easily detects new field additions
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the data loads fails for few of the tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing data loads in Fivetran and today all our salesforce data is pushed in the warehouse by Fivetran
Sam W's Completely Honest Fivetran Review
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up connectors and sync data with them. Notifications if pipelines are working or not. Mostly a set and forget system. Customer support was good when I had to use them. 14 day free trials for connectors is great, too! Very good for itnegrating with 3rd party data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is insanely expensive for what it is doing, and we had resistance from our rep to lower our plan. No ability to use postgres connector on the lower business plan, which we would be very likely to use. I'm afraid of using it for postgres because the cost will be so expensive since we have a lot of updated rows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves having to build connectors to 3rd party data, such as hubspot, optimizely, and salesforce. However, we don't find it useful for postgres (see above). I like that it handles schema changes for us as well. The DBT packages that fivetran has put out seem great, although we are only using the hubspot one. I like that they have useful transforms ready to go so it goes beyone just replicating data.
Absolute game changer
What do you like best about the product?
For starters, the user interface is very friendly and intuitive. The administration of the tool requires very little effort. Fivetran works seamlessly with our Google Cloud Platform tech stack and requires almost zero troubleshooting efforts with the various connectors available. I especially love that the logging integrates so well with Google Stackdriver logs, allowing our team to see everything in one place. The support team is also highly responsive and knowledgeable. Any issues that have cropped up were promptly resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, seriously. I have yet to encounter anything that I dislike about FT. We have used a data replication competitor for quite some time (which will remain anonymous), and FT blows them out of the water. This is not so much of a dislike, but I would love to see FT continue to expand their various connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FT to replicate data from various platforms into our GCP data stack. These range from CRMs, marketing /advertisement, to billing platforms for our SaaS company. This abstracts the need for engineers such as myself to build out data pipelines using an API. It really minimizes the amount of development and maintenance of additional data pipelines where a FT connector is available, allowing us to better focus our time on data consumption (and pipeline building where a connector is unavailable).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend others to give it a try! There are pretty nifty sandbox connectors that you can easily integrate into your data warehouse to explore the tool. I *believe* there is a trial period to test the product before your billing cycle starts (don't quote me on this).
