Working well for out of the box and custom connectors
What do you like best about the product?
There is a wide variety of out of the box connectors for hundreds of sources and they all seem to work pretty well. I also like there isn't a charge on a per connector basis, it's based on rows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer connector setup works fine, however it takes a fair of technical work to write Lambda and integrate with FiveTran, I wonder if there could be a framework that could provide which would just work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FiveTran is bringing data in for 4 different sources using out of the box connectors, we also write 2 of our custom connectors, to pull data from the source into our warehouse on a daily basis.

Fivetran feedback
What do you like best about the product?
When it works, it's seamless. Very polished on the API front
What do you dislike about the product?
It is ridiculously slow, for the price I pay. Cannot do anything real-time for now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We ingest data from our customers systems and right now Fivetran eliminates the need for having data engineers to some degree.
Fivetran saves us thousands of hours by doing all ETL heavylifting

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing: Fivetran can be expensive, especially for small to medium-sized businesses. Its pricing model is based on the number of data rows processed per month, which can quickly add up if you're dealing with large volumes of data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Fivetran to maintain different cloud systems and databases sycronised with our data warehouse and data lake solutions, making easier for our BI team create dashboards and leverage insights.
Very straight-forward and intuitive to use
What do you like best about the product?
- Setting up a new connector is very simple, never seen it in such an easy way
- During the trial and when trialing a new connector I love the usage estimator
- Documentation is very good and very helpful

- Documentation is very good and very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
- Quite some time for some connectors to understand how the data is structured (e.g. Hubspot does not match completely with the UI of the tool unless you apply some filtering)
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows for no code data extraction and modelling (pre-built dbt models that can be used) which is very intuitive and straight-forward even for a business user without engineering knowledge.
Effortless Integration for Real-Time Access to Clean and Accurate Data
What do you like best about the product?
There are advantages I see everyday and interact with when it comes to Fivetran. Writing this review, I would pay attention to the details of the Fivetran in a positive tone.
I like the way we interact with the connectors. This is because Fivetran provides pre-built connectors for over 100 data sources, with databases, SaaS applications, cloud storage, and more. I can't not mention the Automated Data Pipelines. It means Fivetran automatically ingests, transforms, and loads data into the data warehouse, eliminating the need for manual data integration.

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing. Its pricing model is based on the amount of data being processed, which makes it more expensive compared to others.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With Fivetran, we centralize data from many sources, such as databases, cloud applications, and local systems. Fivetran uses a fully managed method of data integration that does not require maintenance, which means that you do not need to spend time and resources on manual maintenance and updating of data connectors. This means that our data is automatically converted, downloaded and updated, allowing our company to access clean, accurate and complete data in real time.
The best cloud based data integration tool !
What do you like best about the product?
Hightly recommended cloud-based data integration tool
Easy to use, don't need to be an expert to work with this product.
Pipeline creation is made easy with various other applications.
The connectors are availble for various applications.

What do you dislike about the product?
Enabling the feature to write programming code. eg , python will help to connect application that does not have ready-made connectors available within the fivetran product.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There are cases where the business team wanted to extract data from their application. Even though there is an expect in building pipelines, they find using Fivetran a straightforward tool for the data extraction process!
Extremely easy to get my datapipelines up and running
What do you like best about the product?
I think the automated startup experience is the best feature. It takes very little time to get up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love how certain schema updates cost so much. With smaller companies that are constantly updating their database schemas, costs can add up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is just saving me time. Instead of me having to build a data pipeline to get production data into our warehouse, Fivetran does it for me. It saved me quite a bit of time and head ache.
A great service that helps us do some heavy lifting around data sync'ing
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran sync's several 3rd party services for us, meaning we didn't have to write custom code.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complicated to align and predict the Consumption-Based Pricing and monthly active rows, especially for growing data sets or rapidly changing data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting 3rd party data sources to our data lake. This gives my engineering teams time back and reduces low value areas we need to maintain.
The data ingestion that you neeed
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easily we can set up a destination and connection in Fivetran. Fivetran also supports various connection types that we can use. Moreover, their support team is helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I dislike is the price that we need to pay. The price is relatively high. Another thing that can be improved as well for my current use case is by improving the data type support in PostgreSQL database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Fivetran is solving is the complexity and the time required to build our own data ingestion pipelines. Especially when the source was varies. Fivetran solves those issues and make it easy to do data ingestion.
It works mostly
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to configure sources and destinations.
MAR based billing although can be improved
