Keystone of our ETL strategy
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to run new connectors quickly to create proofs of concept and the ability to pick and choose which fields to include in each model, so as the control you have to add or remove fields and objects really makes it easy to control.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some small subset of connectors seem unstable at times, so real-time data can be affected, in some cases the connectors and fields require some external calculation or validation this makes it confusing if you run multiple systems at the time (Make sure to document everything)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are running a ETL strategy in which we use Fivetran to extract data from our sources into our Warehouse to be re-calculated and transformed for both integration use and direct business reporting, this has given us more granular control on when and which data is extracted
Awesome product!
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use, quick setup and intuitive user interface
What do you dislike about the product?
More robust update schedules, setting up exact time of refresh and not tied to 15-minute increments. Also, the ability to extract pre-populated reports from systems, not being limited to entire objects
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The ease of connecting disparate data sources into one consolidated enterprise data warehouse, quickly and efficiently
Fivetran helps speed up building your business
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of creating a connector and the sense of smooth connection you get.
What do you dislike about the product?
More insights into the workflow would be nice. Somehow the flow still feels more like a BlackBox. A very good and accurate one indeed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Fivetran to help us connect to various sources of data so we can get the data quickly and do the follow-up processing on top of it. It's just quick and accurate.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you would like a quick way to connect to over 150+ sources from all different realms of areas. Consider Fivetran!

What do you like best about the product?
Made my etl work very easy. many connectors for etl pipelines
What do you dislike about the product?
missing api for some connectors where you will do a manual load of csv
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
pipelines to redshift
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Add more connectors
Fivetran is helping us build more reliable data pipelines
What do you like best about the product?
In just a few weeks we were able to implement our first data pipeline using Fivetran, which delivered a quick and immediate business benefit. The Fivetran team supported us extremely well during this initial deployment, and the incremental syncs are proving reliable (we are on the 5 minute refresh) and easy to scale out. Also worth noting that we have found the GUI simple and very easy to use. We are very much looking forward to working more with this product over time, so far so good!
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing so far about the product that I dislike.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
More reliable and timely ETL processes
It just works
What do you like best about the product?
It works with little intervention and time from my team to manage
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation could be a bit more detailed
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data replication from source data to our data lake. It is easy to maintain
Fivetran made it incredibly easy to get the data we needed.
What do you like best about the product?
Working with the team at Fivetran was awesome. They made it super easy to get our data project over the finish line and helped us with every step of the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing. There was only one hiccup in identifying the right data source from our advertising platforms, but because we were able to get all the historical data it really wasn't an issue once we located the right source.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team was looking for a solution to funnel advertising data into our data warehouse so we can analyze our marketing campaign data in one centralized location.
FIveTran made our data pipeline easy to get up and running!
What do you like best about the product?
They have a broad range of connectors that should suit most businesses and their support is excellent.
What do you dislike about the product?
Re-syncing complete datasets can be costly under their new pricing model, but overall using FiveTran is cheaper for our company than hiring full-time data engineering staff. For our size and scale, their solutions work really well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using FiveTran to power our Data Lake - we make use of the Google Analytics, Webhooks, and Postgres Connectors to bring in all of data into one location that we can then use to run transformations against. FiveTran makes all of this very simple and we haven't had any problems with the solution since we set it up.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Consider the cost of FiveTran against hiring your own Data Engineering team - for us FiveTran was significantly less and our existing engineering team could support it quite easily by comparison.
Fivetran is magic--transports what you want, all the time, with very little effort
What do you like best about the product?
Works with everything I want to bring data from, delivers it consistently (to BigQuery for me), and just works.
What do you dislike about the product?
It's not the simplest thing to write your own functions to integrate from APIs that aren't natively supported, but at least it's an option, and it works well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We funnel all of the data we need (from SFTP sites, from Google Sheets, from DynamoDB, from Cognito, from Zendesk, from Five9, etc etc) to one place to query. It's the magical data lake transportation engine that you need.
Resilient and capable pipelining tool
What do you like best about the product?
Wide variety of connectors, config vs. code, a new compelling pricing model, excellent support. Also a high bar for security has been met for our usage given the architecture.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far there has been little to dislike, support cases have been rare and well attended to. Pricing under the older connector based model was starting to look prohibitive but the consumption model has eliminated that concern. Commercial processes are somewhat immature.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick, secure and easy pipelining of SaaS and DB sources to our Snowflake instances. Very positive cost benefit by displacing labour and license costs for other data integraton tools
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Evaluate through a trial, consider architecture in context of security
