Great Low/No Code ETL and takes the headache out of large, regular data lift and shifts
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Quick to get in place. Lots of support for applications and standard connections
What do you dislike about the product?
Can become expensive for data heavy integrations which potentially are still easy or much cheaper with other solutions which means you end up with multiple ETL tools
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Their out of the box connector saved a huge amount of work getting data out of an enterprise platform and across to our data warehouse.
Good software but expensive compared to competitor like stitch
What do you like best about the product?
quality product, more solid than competitor's product
What do you dislike about the product?
price, much much more expensive, and force customers to sync unnecessary tables that drives up the cost. stitch is much, much, cheaper when it works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
sourcing data from various saas software without me handling all the api calls
Fivetran helped my startup get control of our data
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran offers a wide selection of pre-packaged connectors that covers the majority of use cases but also allows users to leverage the power of custom functions (e.g Azure Functions) in order to create their custom connectors
What do you dislike about the product?
Oftentimes the user interface is a little slow to respond or does not instantly update. I also wish I could be given more advanced options on how to manage "broken" connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It allows me to connect new data sources to my warehouse and manage everything easily without having to maintain any data engineering infrastructure, all by using an intuitive UI. This benefits me by saving me time and taking away the need for a dedicated person in my team that would work on data engineering.
Easy setup
What do you like best about the product?
Amount of different integrations available with a couple of clicks and no additional coding required to get started. Particularly we were missing an integration like this for Chartmogul which doesn't seem to be so popular and found it here.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is kind of hard to understand what each item in the schema means, since the documentation may refer to something but not exactly what it means which makes it hard to know if that table is or not necessary for each specific use case. A glossary with more detail definition on what each table includes and what each thing means would expedite the onboarding process with each new connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Almost real time syncing of different platforms to big query
Fivetran is great for SaaS use-cases
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of setup, schema management and error alerting
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost structure can be a pain for startups, especially at high volumes. Specific use cases do not make financial sense for smaller companies and tighter budgets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick ETL from our SaaS tools into our Database. It allowed our Analytics team to quickly become valuable rather than building custom pipelines for Salesforce and Asana.
Reduces the workload of a small team & good customer support while onboarding
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to use. Good documentation. Good Customer Support. Exhaustive.
What do you dislike about the product?
Expensive. Needs work for more complex data sources. Doesnt pull all data from sources such as Drip & Intercom
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data extraction from varied number of sources
Easy onboarding, great documentation and toolkit for a decent price
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran maybe has fewer connectors than some other prividers but quality and easy is what we value the most. Their support for dbt transformers and pricing is what made us choose fivetran.
Additionally on dbt - I don't really know any other provider who is hosting dbt for you as usually its your problem how/where to host, plus templates fivetran opensourced are top notch!

What do you dislike about the product?
Interface could be buggy time to time - blank white page or when you try to inspect dbt tree hence it's still in beta and doesn't happen often
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Marketing Data aggregation from various sources and transformations to later be used in dashboarding
Implementation
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to implement, the process is logical and does not require much handholding without knowing what the underlying technical complexities are
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite a few settings to setup in the initial flow, could set with some default option and allow users to tweak after setup. Also quite a few crashes on large queries
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Importing large amount of data on sheets and updating it regularly without crashing it. I ma more productive as a result not having to spend more time updating analysis that users can work off, it allows for me to convert gsheets into dashboards
Good product for getting information from BI tools to marketing platforms
What do you like best about the product?
Simple and works like lots of marketing platforms
What do you dislike about the product?
Cant connect looker directly to census (requires snowflake)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting first party data into marketing platforms
Census has been simple to use and their CS team has been remarkably helpful.
What do you like best about the product?
It's seemingly the only tool that does what it does. The UI is really clean and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
I would be reaching to find something wrong with the product. It does what it does. It would be nice to sync data into more objects types, but they're a newer company and moving fast.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is helping us as a reverse ETL. It's basically the only GUI-based reverse ETL solution out there.
