Drastically reduces time to proving ideas
What do you like best about the product?
The time savings for our engineers and how quickly we can get the data we need, when we need it.
What do you dislike about the product?
Price per unit of data if you only have a few connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting multiple external partners and data providers in one seamless interface. We've also noticed how quickly our analytics team uses their ui to upload ad-hoc analyses.

Easy to manage and find the right data you want
What do you like best about the product?
I like the structure of Fivetran and the searching bar feature (i often use it to search what tables/columns we have in our database) and which tables are synced/not synced.
What do you dislike about the product?
It'd be great if we can see how each table is connected with the other (what's the primary key for each table that we can join on?) For example, snowflake has a feature that allows you to see the logic tree which gives me a quick look at how each table connected with each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
extracting data for analytical projects, operational data, strategic analytics, business-related. I'm entirely sure what this question is about.
Fivetran has been a very useful source to keep all my data.
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to have different warehouses to keep everything organized.
What do you dislike about the product?
A downside is that not all data source types are supported
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to get my data into one place for clients to be put in Alteryx
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Meet with sales reps to answer questions in the begining beacuse this was very helpful to my organization
Valuable tool
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran has been an invaluable tool to get our data to where it needs to be.
What do you dislike about the product?
My company is taking Fivetran away, which is unfortunate!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting data from many different sources.
Fivetran was fine, but needs improvement
What do you like best about the product?
It updates daily and accurately and great customer serivce! We had a great time getting to work with Fivetran, and they were very smooth in demo-ing the tool, showing us how to get the information we needed. They also helped us figure out a price point and solution that made sense for our business needs and we were able to negotiate a deal that worked for both parties! Since switching over to Fivetran from our previous ETL provider, we've noticed that the data is faster and more accurate. All of our users have been extremely grateful for Fivetran because it gave us reliable access to a dataset that we otherwise would not be able to extract data from, which has been highly crucial to success.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unfortunately, while I love most of the features of Fivetran and am very grateful that we were able to use it for extracting Facebook Business Manager statistics, one area where we could see improvement is customization. There are canned reports that we have to use, even if we're only using one of the 70 fields available. As a result, we are needlessly spending money on information that is not being used. It would be great to have a feature that allows for customization that we need in order to reduce costs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is helping us bring our facebook data into Looker, our business intelligence tool, which is essential for use across many teams. This data is used by almost 100 people and is instrumental in making key business decisions. We are so grateful for Fivetran and especially loved how easy it was to set up!
Keystone of our ETL strategy
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to run new connectors quickly to create proofs of concept and the ability to pick and choose which fields to include in each model, so as the control you have to add or remove fields and objects really makes it easy to control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some small subset of connectors seem unstable at times, so real-time data can be affected, in some cases the connectors and fields require some external calculation or validation this makes it confusing if you run multiple systems at the time (Make sure to document everything)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running a ETL strategy in which we use Fivetran to extract data from our sources into our Warehouse to be re-calculated and transformed for both integration use and direct business reporting, this has given us more granular control on when and which data is extracted
Very useful upload / syncing tool
What do you like best about the product?
Relatively fast and easy to use. It hasn't crashed or froze so far.
What do you dislike about the product?
The interface could require jumping around a bit. Specifically, I'd like to be able to upload one sheet after another (instead of going back to homepage and then clicking into the upload screen again)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A quick way to get a CSV file into SQL. Or continuous sync between google sheet to SQL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
You save a lot of time in uploading data.
Good but could do better
What do you like best about the product?
Quick and easy to setup a connection and get data into your landing area.
What do you dislike about the product?
Technical support isn't always great unless you really push them. I've requested new connectors a few times and they have been unresponsive.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data into our warehouse staging area fast. Not having to worry about writing our own APIs.
Feature addition and flexibility
What do you like best about the product?
There is a vast array of connectors that allows extracting data from numerous sources
What do you dislike about the product?
There are connector features that don't make sense if you think about it from a development perspective, especially like the new Google Drive Beta which creates 1 table per each file and SFTP not supporting PGP
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some of our data require PGP decryption or another encryption system; we would like this feature available
Awesome product!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, quick setup and intuitive user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
More robust update schedules, setting up exact time of refresh and not tied to 15-minute increments. Also, the ability to extract pre-populated reports from systems, not being limited to entire objects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of connecting disparate data sources into one consolidated enterprise data warehouse, quickly and efficiently
