Fivetran helps speed up building your business

  • April 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating a connector and the sense of smooth connection you get.
What do you dislike about the product?
More insights into the workflow would be nice. Somehow the flow still feels more like a BlackBox. A very good and accurate one indeed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Fivetran to help us connect to various sources of data so we can get the data quickly and do the follow-up processing on top of it. It's just quick and accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you would like a quick way to connect to over 150+ sources from all different realms of areas. Consider Fivetran!

Quick and easy way to connect complex systems to your data warehouse

  • April 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
It is effortless to connect new applications to destinations, on average like ten clicks. The interface is simple enough to navigate and reasonably non-technical. Once set up, you do not need to come back to it. All in all, a very robust and reliable flow to your data warehouse.
What do you dislike about the product?
Support could be a little bit better. Also, for more advanced users, it would be nice to more detailed logging and more granular access control. Finally, many monitoring features are only available in the UI at the account admin level, which creates a management bottleneck sometimes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Effortless consolidation of business application data in data warehouse.

Reliable team and technology

  • April 14, 2021
  • Review verified by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The account teams are fantastic. They listen, are transparent, and genuinely want to help you succeed. Whether it's brainstorming with their product team to identify ways they can improve or giving feedback on beta releases, their team always takes time to listen and incorporate customer feedback.
What do you dislike about the product?
MAR has been a pain point for a while. We are not sure how to translate between rows to MAR to credits to dollars.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do not need an engineering team building marketing data pipelines. The team is now free to transform and leverage the data vs fixing pipelines.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Look at the pricing model for the future state to ensure you don't need to migrate to a larger platform.

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

  • April 14, 2021
  • 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.
