Simplifies Connector Management, but Manual Fixes and Observability Still Hurt
What do you like best about the product?
We switched to Fivetran in order to stop maintaining our own ad-hoc connectors, which was brittle and time consuming. Fivetran definitely helps with hiding the complexities of connectors, retries, mapping of fields, etc. It makes it painless to add new connectors, too.
What do you dislike about the product?
For a product aimed at reducing complexity, we still experience regular problems (once or twice a month) with connectors requiring manual intervention. Also, observability is not straightforward: there used to be a log which could be accessed from the UI, which was then moved to a destination that can be queried with SQL; while the latter is more flexible, for quick checking of problems the UI-accessible log was better. Furthermore, the destination-as-log can be impacted by outages, resulting in situations where you are blind to what the actual problem was.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran solves one specific problem for us: fast integration of third party data sources into our data platform.

Getting the business information I need without having the technical skills to build the connectors myself.

Effortless ELT
What do you like best about the product?
I like that Fivetran requires low maintenance and ensures data integrity and recovery with minimal custom scripting. I appreciate how it abstracts much of the 'EL' work, letting us focus more on delivering solutions. It saves us time from fiddling with extract and load processes, so we can concentrate on solving problems for our stakeholders.
What do you dislike about the product?
More detailed errors and log history would be ideal. Clearer root cause rather than generic error messages would help us debug or triage.

Reliable Data Replication with a Useful New AI Connector

Sometimes we get obscure or silent failures that require reaching out to Fivetran support. It's hard to tell which side the error is coming from (Fivetran or the system it's syncing from).
