The Easiest ETL pipeline
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran literally makes creating pipelines as easy as clicking a few buttons. It lets me and my team focus on creating high value analytics rather than config files.
What do you dislike about the product?
More detail around ERD and specific types would be nice,
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL pipelines are hard to create and maintain, fivetran makes it really simple.
Great turnkey
What do you like best about the product?
easy to use and explain to others when you need help in a pinch
What do you dislike about the product?
no default dashboard, sometimes outage reports are not relevant to my connectors
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
easy to manage data pipeline with low maintence
Great reliability and service.
What do you like best about the product?
The easy administration and overall ease of use.
What do you dislike about the product?
Lack of advanced features (for example, creating partitioned tables)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Creating multiple data pipelines from multiple data sources with changing schemas to the central data warehouse.
Easiest, most reliable way to get your data into Snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
Having connectors for many of the common data sources is terrific, but having a team constantly working to offer even more connectors and improving the existing ones is absolutely amazing.
What do you dislike about the product?
Since I've started using Fivetran the thing that stands out to me the most is their continual improvement. I hated the initial pricing, they changed it. I had trouble with the UI, they changed it. There was a lack of transformation ability, they added dbt. Things that I dislike are typically things that most users will also not like and having Fivetran constantly improving is great.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Continual ingestion of data from a multitude of different sources has been my job for the last several years, and Fivetran has made that process point and click so I can just focus on the business rules instead of the plumbing.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot - you won't be disappointed!
Best Cloud-to-Cloud Ingestion Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity and abstraction of ingestion. This tool does not show what is under the hood and it is not required for you to do so. This tool just does the task that you want it to do.
What do you dislike about the product?
This tool does not support On-Prem use cases where security is a concern. Eventually, this tool will also support on-prem sources as well which will make it the best tool for all sources and destinations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This directly supports the business to ensure data in the downstream dashboards is up-to-date. Benefits include no maintenance and human costs since all the development and maintenance of the code is maintained by Fivetran and Fivetran Support in conjunction with Fivetran Engineering ensures that all issues are resolved.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Check with Fivetran if you are looking to eliminate your custom ingestion framework and maintenance, as well as the development of new ingestion sources and destinations. Complete a Fivetran POC and learn what this product supports and how it can help your business.
A must have for any data engineering stack
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran takes a few minutes to setup and it just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish it could do bidirectional syncing using the same connector.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data from various standard data sources into our data lake. We do not have to hire a large staff to build and maintain our data pipelines
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It just works!! and Fivetran should be a part of any Data engineering stack.
Allow analysts to work with the freshest possible data
What do you like best about the product?
The UI. Fivetran interface is very easy to use and Fivetran has a really good support team. We usually receive good response from the support team if issue arises
What do you dislike about the product?
One of the cons of Fivetran is the limitation of existing connectors. There are still a lot of third party connectors that Fivetran should consider building in the future
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Fivetran to help solving the problem of data migration by providing a platform that automates the process of moving data from one place to another. Our business performance is heavily dependent on the data ingested from Fivetran
quarterly Fivetran Product Showcase
What do you like best about the product?
As I'm starting to know about Fivetran, I am not very familiar with it, that's te reason I'm registering to webinars.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not there yet, I'm new to Fivetran, I would like to learn how to use it as where I'm working we use it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Not solving any problems yet, I'm getting to know it
most reliable, low-lift solution to data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
The product is clean and straightforward to use. Other folks at my company had never used Fivetran before and were able to get their connectors up and running within 15 mins. We are a very small data team relative to the size of our company and having a product that we can essentially set up and not give another thought to has been a gamechanger. Fivetran simply does what I need it to do and my CSM has been super-responsive and helpful whenever I need some additional support.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fivetran has a heftier price tag than the other products in the ELT space. I would like the integrations with dbt to be stronger and more robust (I think this is in the roadmap). I think it would be useful to have more detailed dbt run logs, for dbt run pricing model to better match how users actually use dbt (don't penalize for using high # of modular dbt models). I would find it immensely helpful if Fivetran produced more content on getting everything we need out of the Fivetran-dbt integration: how-to blogs or follow-along videos for leveraging Fivetran's pre-built models, implementing good CI/CD, etc.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As a small data team, we need to be able to surface the high-level KPIs and metrics that company leaders need - and we need to do it in a way that's both scalable and flexible. Fivetran frees up our time to build data products with our data, and not have to sink any time in to getting our data to some place we can work with it.
