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).
Nice, intuitive ETL with good features
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is intuitive and comes across very naturally to users, both technical and non-technical. Compared to other similar GUI-based ETL tools, the various views it provides for a user to see what work they've done is more transparent (i.e., I can click on a page and know precisely what I'm looking at). The pipeline is fully managed, and setting up your connections is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a little high if you only have a few connectors- I wouldn't necessarily use Fivetran for a lightweight proof of concept. Also, as with any ETL tool, sometimes it's hard to get the exact transformation that you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was simple to create an ETL pipeline for data from Salesforce into GCP.
Well documented, easy to follow and all in one platform
What do you like best about the product?
The well structured documentation makes FiveTran an easy to follow software. Also the dashboard helps to view and analyse the insights of the usage metrics. 14 days trial period is well enough to understand FiveTran APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
FiveTran doesn't provide a call back hook on completion of their bigquery dataset sync. Also their are no existing client libraries for easily implementing FiveTran REST APIs in applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been developing a python client library for FiveTran REST APIs. That will help developers to easily integrate FiveTran to their applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Because of its easiness to integrate in any application, well structured documentation, good customer support, I am sure that it will worth every penny. So I am pretty much confident to suggest to others

What do you dislike about the product?
Logs have come a long way as well But still while it comes to driling down to data level a particular object its challenging.
Can have a room to improve in that but again support is doing that job but would like the developers to do that

Review On Fivetran
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use and more confortable and user friendly to use
What do you dislike about the product?
For some of connectors, we have predefined tables where we do not have the option to select required tables in those cases it will select all the tables to snow to the warehouse where the credit will burn

It will connect all the social media and easy to use the Fivetran compare to other connectors.We have lot of option in Fivetran and we have used almost all the options
