Fivetran is super easy to work with
What do you like best about the product?
How quick I can get a feed from my data sources to my data warehouse. It has great insights and notifications if there are any troubles, but honestly we set it and forget it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The logging for connectors is a little hard to decipher but all in all it has the information needed to know whats going on. If they made it a little more user friendly to understand it would be helpful. The other thing that I wished was they were quicker at getting to connector requests. I have a couple I have been waiting for that I would love to see added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving getting our data source data to our data warehouse in near realtime with minimal effort. This allows us to focus time on true engineered solutions without getting bogged down in how I get data from point a to point b

Great platform. Easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The five transplatform allows you to have end to end pipelines built from start to finish in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is more complicated than any other platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran allows us to lemonade a huge number of swivel chair data management tasks. It has also made the creation of a data warehouse incredibly simple.
ETL for dummies
What do you like best about the product?
Authenticating for Google Ads data is handled by Fivetran, no need to create your own OAuth application
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model is smart, but still becomes very expensive. Logs of actions are keps but only available for 7 days. Support is not so good
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I now understand that Fivetran is not worth it. If you can spare the time you will always get a better result building the system yourself
Recommendations to others considering the product:
if you have the skill to build the system yourself, then don't waste your money with fivetran.
if it's your only option, well then it's your only option

Connecting the unconnectable
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the clear instructions that are provided by FiveTran. I have never used anything like this before and I thought it was going to challenge me. It didn't I did hit some hurdles along the way but these were easily resolvable.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, because I hadn't used anything similar before to FiveTran, it didn't feel intuitive to use, however once I understood the processes and requirements I soon worked it all out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are connecting the data we store in our ad server to Power BI. This allows us to visualise our data in a way that we have never seen before. This allows us to bring down our reporting times
Easy to use and very reliable ELT tool with great set of connectors offering granular data
What do you like best about the product?
The simple interface makes use of the tool extremely simple for the less technical analysts / non-Data Engineers. Only basic SQL code is required to perform comprehensive ELT processes.
The vast number of connectors makes accessing all data from across the business incredibly simple and quick.
The recent addition of dbt makes the set up and management of the transformation layer much easier and the off-the-shelf dbt models that Fivetran offer are a great starting point.

What do you dislike about the product?
In order to perform ELT fully, knowledge of dbt would be required to implement the downstream dependencies. Without this, it makes changing the ELT process more manual and error-prone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collating all data from across the business into one data warehouse without the need for expensive Data Engineers. This has allowed me to maintain a small, nimble data team that provides maximum value to the business by joining up siloed data to uncover hidden insights that would otherwise have gone unnoticed if still working with disparate data sets.
Fivetran is a generally good solution for our data elt needs
What do you like best about the product?
The large number of available connectors and easy to use interface
What do you dislike about the product?
- Slowest sync frequency is 24 hours
- Can not set sync hours to be within a window of time (working hours) without having to use the fivetran api
- Doesn't have a connector to Amazon Seller Central
- Would be great to be able to only sync certain records within a specific table (based of sql query or filter)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transfering data from data sources to warehouse.
This makes it significantly easier to analyze data from all sources.

Good experience so far, just a bit expensive
What do you like best about the product?
- Super easy to set up
- Documentations are clear
- Documentations are clear
What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced a bug a few weeks back. When I set up a connector, all the tests passed, but when I did the sync, I kept getting a null pointer error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ingesting a few third-party data sets. No need to manage API connectors ourselves, very handy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful for handling a large number of API connectors
A nice tool for ETL
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the speed and capability of Fivetran, as well as the flexibility. It's a true data integration tool combined with many features and provides tremendous functionality for sharing and controlling the ETL pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the product would make warehouse recommendations and seamless integration. Also, I would appreciate it if the documentation could cover more on various APIs and make the developers easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to send emails and invite the users. And all these ingestion work is through Fivetran. The whole process is simplified anad deinitely reduced our work a lot.
VP, Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes data engineering accessible to business users. It has dramatically improved the reliability of our data in Snowflake for much less than a FTE.
What do you dislike about the product?
Account onboarding could have been smoother, aside from that the product just works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do not have the capacity or resources to hire a full time data engineer to oversee an in-house solution. Getting accurate data flows into snowflake is critical.
Fivetran has helped me in two different SMB startups now jumpstart our ETL/ELT pipelines.
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of integrating a new data source with Fivetran with limited data engineering resources helps tremendously. We use a stack of Snowflake and Domo to collate and present findings.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes connectors are not fully explained ahead of time to show what will be received from integrating them. The excellent news is Fivetran allows you to test new connectors for free.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Centralizing all our vendors and in-house data sources. Enabling reporting and data democratization.
