Simple setup and good UI
What do you like best about the product?
FiveTran is a good solution for our needs. It was easy to connect to our various data sources and start getting the data into Snowflake. We connected to 10 different sources in one weekend to get started.
What do you dislike about the product?
At times the error messages were helpful in figuring out the issue.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting all data from various data sources into our Data Warehouse. It was simple to set up and their UI is good. The updates and alerts are helpful too.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
It is a great solution to connect with your data warehouse.

Easy to use and reliable ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of use, and consistency. The UX allows for clear understanding of the sync processes, and troubleshooting with clear error descriptions.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is really nothing I dislike about Fivetran.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL pipelines from across multiple vendors.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Ensure the integrations will work for you, test it out. Netsuite is the tricky one but has been working very well for us. Fivetran provides what we need and takes away the headache of having to deal with ETL'ing data across vendors. We definitely did not want to build that in-house.
Our business is not in ETL instrumentation, so a tool like Fivetran has enabled us to connect say Salesforce to Snowflake easily, and give the entire team access to the data they need quickly and consistently.
We tested other vendors in the past who did not meet our expectations. The one caveat I would say is that we don't leverage MySQL or other binlog level replication functionality via Fivetran as we dealing with schema changes under the binlog replication model is simply too painful and potentially dangerous.
You can consider StichData as an alternative as we did, ultimately Fivetran did the job for us and we're happy with it.

fivetran takes the pain away for managing etls
What do you like best about the product?
- fivetran takes the pain away for managing etls for standard vendors
- fivetran allows non-technical users to interact with our warehouse with csv uploads functionality
- fivetran transformations works well for us with webhook connectors to dynamically load data into our warehouse
- for anonymizing data using column hashing feature while doing replication from our master to dev rds instance - this helps with gdpr concerns and keeps our dev database from having any personally identifiable information

What do you dislike about the product?
- the postgres replication (using the Logical replication method ) has major issues - we tried to replicate data from our master RDS to another instance, but found the replication slot on master consuming more space than expected - we have had support cases that never got resolved
- Not all connectors have entity level delete capturing , wish fivetran could do that.
- wish there was more visibility into when the schema for various connectors is updated (when it happens)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
managing data from standard vendors like salesforce, jira
understanding the vendor apis to arrive at a schema is now done by fivetran instead of an engineer

Great tool with easy integration
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of getting data into your warehouse, you can most a lot faster than more traditional custom coded solutions
What do you dislike about the product?
Some pre-built reports could be improved and also a better UI for custom built reports, lots of clicking
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Low code solution that provides data in almost real-time. Since the nature of our business is related to pricing, we want the ability to see feedback fast.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Keep on building more connectors
Game Changer!
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that users can upload and interface with the data systems without being a full-fledged data user. This allows us to maintain permissions while still allowing users to achieve fast, clean data uploads.
What do you dislike about the product?
Honestly don't have any dislikes for my use!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Uploading large files to Snowflake in the easiest way possible! And so fast!
FiveTran is great
What do you like best about the product?
It is very easy to use and virtually replaces the need for a data engineer in some aspects.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a little bit pricy with the per connector cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Shoveling data into snowflake out of several sources.
Data Automation Here We Come!
What do you like best about the product?
FiveTran is a super easy to use tool with data connectors to all major marketing and web analytics data sources that make reporting automation easy for any Ad Agency. The interface is very intuitive, and it doesn't take much to get started. Building data pipelines is as simple as a few clicks. The FiveTran team is always adding new data connectors that simplify complex ETL processes. Plus the compatibility with Snowflake is a game-changer.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many comes to mind. Looking forward to new features that they will add.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FiveTran is a great tool to automate all your marketing analytics reporting. Prior to FiveTran we leveraged other software tools that brought in our marketing data to Google Sheets, from there we would do additional ETL to make reporting possible. Now we bring everything into the warehouse with a few simple clicks! FiveTran has saved us a tremendous amount of time and there support teams are always responsive.
Good data integration tool.
What do you like best about the product?
It has been easy to set up and maintain and allows us to keep on systems that otherwise take a lot of maintenance (to be managed manually). It was easy and straightforward to install the connectors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Having firebase data is a bit of an effort right now, so we look forward to the connector. We wish that before the data warehouse, they had a transformation sheet.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran helped us to set up our system for internal BI and analytics reporting. Your support team is always great to help us solve problems and we appreciate your product updates. We now have a comprehensive and easy to use reporting tool that puts together data from a range of different sources across our entire ecosystem.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I think everything has gone relatively smoothly. I wouldn't change anything, therefore. Naturally, we spent time trying to work on some connectors. Yet it was also a good learning opportunity for our team.
Super powerful and easy to use
What do you like best about the product?
I love the amount of connectors that are available.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way to change the settings on the email alerts
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Syncing data to our data lake from various different sources. It saves us from having to build the syncing frameworks, alerts, and monitoring of the sync jobs.
