The World's Best Data Engineer At The Click Of A Button

  • April 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It's the world's best data engineer at a fraction of the cost. There's less maintenance, the architecture is managed for you, and the company is filled with thoughtful people constantly improving the product for users. It's the pipework that makes the modern data stack possible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Certain sources really drive up costs with the Monthly-Active-Row-based pricing model. Don't let this discourage you from using Fivetran but know what kind of sources you're planning on ingesting. Unless it's some event-based system that produces hundreds of millions of events a month, Fivetran is the best tool on the market. If it IS event-based and produces hundreds of millions or billions of rows in a single month, there are probably alternatives that might fit that use case better.

But in bang for the buck and breadth of connectors, there isn't a better tool available.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We've connected all of our relevant data sources to our data warehouse, where we can model that data with dbt and consume it in our BI tool of choice. It cuts down the resources required for data engineering so that a team can overhaul data infrastructure.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Reach out to the team and ask about your use case. Figure out what sources you're using and what the monthly cost would be, and then consider the cost of a data engineer to maintain in-house solutions to do the same thing.

Simple Clean Solution

  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
UI is simple and very quick to setup. Sync times are flexible from very quick sub 5 minute runs to longer 24hr runs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tables with a lot of columns can be a pain to select a particular subset of, especially SalesForce tables with long names and underscores.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran allows us to get data from our SalesForce environment into Heroku or SnowFlake to help centralize our data and minimize costs associated with API's on the SalesForce platform.

Fivetran is helping us build more reliable data pipelines

  • November 18, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In just a few weeks we were able to implement our first data pipeline using Fivetran, which delivered a quick and immediate business benefit. The Fivetran team supported us extremely well during this initial deployment, and the incremental syncs are proving reliable (we are on the 5 minute refresh) and easy to scale out. Also worth noting that we have found the GUI simple and very easy to use. We are very much looking forward to working more with this product over time, so far so good!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing so far about the product that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More reliable and timely ETL processes

Awesome Product that saves so much time through automation

  • November 17, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Saves time for tedious tasks that can then be spent on more value adding tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
If there is no connector available for your source system. Reporting on usage data and cost could be improved.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aquiring data from various source systems into central data warehouse. Automates a lot and saves time.

Pain-free, effective tool

  • September 03, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
In general, system is extremely simple & hassle free. Also reliable: essentially never experience the annoying little issues that pop up with other such tools. New account manager has been tremendous as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Last year, one connector broke & took months to get to sufficient resolution. From the outside it seems they overhauled the organization to prevent issues like this in future. Oh and pricing model changed from connector-based to consumption based :(
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Large portion of our ETL runs through Fivetran, including some customized pipelines. Also use it to upload ad hoc files (csv etc) to DW extremely easily

Great ETL tool

  • August 26, 2020
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is very easy to set up and get going. I've used it to try out new data sources and do one off data pulls. It's generally reliable, emailing the admin team when there are issues. Overall, it's the best ETL tool I've used to get data into my warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
We have a complicated advertising MCC that links up to Fivetran. Since the data in that MCC is often bad, it tends to delay the sync sometimes. That's the only issue I've had with the tool.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As someone who works in Business Intelligence, but isn't a data engineer, Fivetran has helped me easily get access to the data I need to create reporting. I've been able to test new sources of data and run sample analysis in a very short period of time. It makes my overall process easier and faster.

One of the best cloud data integration/pipeline tools

  • August 25, 2020
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Quick data replication with minimal lag. Very straight forward and easy to follow setup. Automated notifications if data is out of sync. Saved lot time integrating data from various sources in our environment to our data warehouse (Snowflake). Fivetran's incremental syncs work seamlessly and uses lower overhead and provides consistent replication of data. Fivetran works on the product improvement very rapidly and keeps us updated on the new features and improvements. Overall, a great product!
What do you dislike about the product?
Occasional delays happen with our connectors due to some changes done by Fivetran developers, without our knowledge and full resync times take really longer (1-2 days) for some connectors. Customer/technical support can do better job. Expensive in terms of cost when compared to other ETL/data pipelines available in the market.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We saved lot time integrating data from various sources in our environment to our data warehouse (Snowflake). We can manage data syncs/ETLs without having to write/keep the code/jobs. Very quick setup process and is fully managed 24*7. Documentation on the connectors is also good...along with troubleshooting steps in case of any failures. we use different connectors that Fivetran offers and makes it easy for our reporting data preparation. Connectors which we use include...Oracle/SQL server/MongoDB/S3/Salesforce/Google analytics etc.
