Fantastic product
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use. I came in with no data engineering experience and was able to set up our ETL without any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the documents for setting up connectors are out of date
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made it easy to connect all of our data sources to our warehouse
Great support
What do you like best about the product?
They met with my team many times until we could install all our databases. Super helpful all the team of Fivetran. Now our pipeline is working perfectly without any maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost of the rows is from zero every month. So you should have in mind that every month the cost is for all the historic data too. Also, they gave us an estimate that didn´t match for the real cost (an estimate of $35 and it cost $80 monthly)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Having all our databases in the same place to extract them and take them to my warehouse where I can do queries to access data. It's useful and easy to maintain.
provides robust platform to push data into snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
robustness of platform and API and customer service
What do you dislike about the product?
wish we had more options for data source
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
centralizing our data from different sources into data lake
Fivetran has Absolutely awful data integrity + price gouging. Do not get stuck on Fivetran
What do you like best about the product?
In theory it's a great concept. However the data integrity has been terrrible. I can't tell you how much time and money lost because the data tables don't line up properly.
What do you dislike about the product?
First, the data integrity. Of the 8 or so data sources we have used, at least 6 have had a major data integrity issue. And their customer support is severly lacking. Once I waited a month with no answer, and eventually debugged it FOR them.
Second, the price gouging. They know that once you have built dashboards on top of their tool, it's a huge lift to switch. So they are trying to double our pricing for less usage this year.
Don't sign up unless you want to get stuck on them.

Data pipeline, in theory. I would love to have ETL as a service. Data pipeline, in theory. I would love to have ETL as a service. Data pipeline, in theory. I would love to have ETL as a service.

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!
