Positive, easy-to-use, non-technical interface for ETL process
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran composes of a wide range of data connectors with very clear and good documentation and instructions for each of them.
I have used their connector to transfer data from Salesforce to Azure SQL database. I can easily follow their instructions to set up their connection without any knowledge in their underlying applications and APIs.
They also offer decent user support.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some data connectors that are missing and their product timeline is not respected. For example, I asked for a data connector on Microsoft Dynamics 365 in Q2 this year. At that time they told me that it is on their roadmap for Q3 2022. However the connector is still not ready today.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They are working on the Microsoft Dynamics 365 data connector.
It has been very difficult to connect this application to any database as Microsoft offers a relatively closed system in data interface.
Fivetran told me that the connector will be ready in Q1 2023

Easy integration and significant shortens time to market
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran was exceptionally easy to integrate into our tech stack and makes data centralization a breeze. We needed to quickly provide data for business side reporting into Redshift and using Fivetran significantly reduced our time to market by weeks. Highly recommend!
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much to dislike really - just needed to learn that deletes in the DB are soft deletes in connected datasources. This is really a very solid tool to have especially when a system has many sources of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Business reporting and centralization of data into a warehouse from multiple sources - reports that took weeks to run, now just take hours post Fivetran integration.
Most Comprehensive ELT tool
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of adding connectors and start schedules is fantastic. The pricing model is easier to understand and reasonable. Dashboards to monitor MAR usage across connectors and accounts help us keep the bills in check. The in-built SQL editor is my most used component.
What do you dislike about the product?
The built-in SQL editor is not the best (small window to code), perhaps because you are deprecating it in 2023.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Integrating data from multiple sources helps us to have a consolidated view.
My experience has been seamless so far
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup. Lots of connector options. Interaction with Fivetran staff has been very pleasant.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing that I can really think of. I don't understand the benefit of doing transformations through Fivetran instead of by myself in my connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is helping us better to understand a product of ours with minimal technical resources. In the future it will be easy to replicate what we have for other products of ours.
Good experience
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran helps you centralize data from different places in one data warehouse. The whole concept is strong. The setup is extremely easy, and the support is helpful as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fivetran works with connectors. The principle is easy and strong, but the connector needs to be available. If the connector is not available, you're simply out of luck. You can submit an idea, but you have to wait until they have time.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had different data sources in different places, and combining those to get one version of the truth proved to be challenging. Via Fivetran this was very easy to accomplish. Also, once setup you don't have to look back.
Easy to use system. Lot of issues with our Sage Intacct connection... but great customer service
What do you like best about the product?
Set up is very intuitive and easy to follow - I am able to add connections very easily on my own. The site itself is also very straightforward to use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Our Sage Intacct connection has been very unstable... I switched to Fivetran after a bad experience with another company and have had just as many issues since switching. However, response time was great and their tech team has been great at keeping me in the loop.

Data Integration
Excellent pricing model, good overall functionality
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran's pricing model allows us to really justify our entire reporting stack and data pipeline, because rather than paying per connector, we get to pay per monthly active row.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, I have not run into any dislikes with the platform; nothing has functioned out of the ordinary.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran has solved our reporting pipeline requirements; as a digital marketing agency, we have a very broad tech stack and report from several different software.
Excellent tool for fast, plug-and-go ELT
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes it extremely easy to set up a connector and get your data flowing to a destination right away. Out of the box, they have a huge selection of connectors to common data sources. And once connected, we've experienced minimal to no fuss with our connectors syncing the data on a consistent basis. Fivetran allows our small analytics team to focus our time in other areas instead of fussing with manual script solutions to try and access data from multiple sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
We were a bit surprised with the monthly cost based on the size of our company and data needs. It ended up being significantly higher than we anticipated. However, in the end, we still went with Fivetran due to how easy they've made our entire ELT process.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting our data from multiple different sources into our data warehouse so that we can do integrated, full-story analytics on our clientele. Connecting to the data sources and piping the data over on a regular, timely basis in a reliable, scalable manner.
Fivetran allow us to extract information from almost 20 data source with a few clicks
What do you like best about the product?
Dont need to code, just with a few clicks you can setup everyting
What do you dislike about the product?
I think can add or develop more adapters
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To have a single datawarehouse to connect our BI tools
Fivetran is a great resource for ETL and has helped me organise my data!
What do you like best about the product?
I like that while Fivetran offers plenty of pre-built connectors, I can always use their webhooks to make my own. The service they offer directly to me through my account manager is incredibly supportive.
What do you dislike about the product?
There could be more work on the transformations that Fivetran offers through DBT, as they're great but a little challenging to get started with! Other than that, there's little to find to dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is helping me solve my ETL problems. Getting data into the company in an automated and smooth way while retaining control over how that data is processed and transformed is really easy through Fivetran.
