Easy to maintain data synchronization
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up a new sync was really easy. I like the fact that so many services are available and that most fields are matched automatically. Census is especially strong at keeping data in sync between different systems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some connections are quite slow to update. This might be caused by the rate limits of the services we use, rather than Census, but it sometimes leads to runtimes of more than a day.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Maintaining reliable customer data across multiple systems. This enable our customer-facing departments to more quickly and reliably set up customer-oriented communication flows.
A great service that helps us do some heavy lifting around data sync'ing
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran sync's several 3rd party services for us, meaning we didn't have to write custom code.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complicated to align and predict the Consumption-Based Pricing and monthly active rows, especially for growing data sets or rapidly changing data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting 3rd party data sources to our data lake. This gives my engineering teams time back and reduces low value areas we need to maintain.
Does exactly what we need
What do you like best about the product?
The user interface is simple and effective. The ramp up time to work with the platform is low, and anyone with integration experience will easily adapt.
What do you dislike about the product?
I am not a fan of the pricing model being based on destination fields.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is allowing us to confidently sync data on a daily basis between systems will very little lift.
Very practical and easy tool to work with
What do you like best about the product?
The UI is clear and makes it easy to configure and schedule jobs that need to be run. Amazing support team to work with to get your questions answered. They have great documentation as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were a few issues we knew would happen ahead of purchasing Census. However, the census support team has been very helpful. It is not easy in Census to convert looker looks to an actual census job.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Census is allowing us to pipe information from other sources into Salesforce. This has allowed us as a business to make SFDC more reliable and be one place to gather information you need.
The data ingestion that you neeed
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easily we can set up a destination and connection in Fivetran. Fivetran also supports various connection types that we can use. Moreover, their support team is helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I dislike is the price that we need to pay. The price is relatively high. Another thing that can be improved as well for my current use case is by improving the data type support in PostgreSQL database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Fivetran is solving is the complexity and the time required to build our own data ingestion pipelines. Especially when the source was varies. Fivetran solves those issues and make it easy to do data ingestion.
It works mostly
What do you like best about the product?
Ability to configure sources and destinations.
MAR based billing although can be improved

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to stitch the data from all sources into a common warehouse.
Allows our business to take data-driven decisions.

Simple, Quick, and Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
It is very simple, quick, and efficient to set up new sources. It provides great reporting on active rows and is easy to select and de-select tables to include. It has handled schema changes quite well.
I have not had to spend time doing "data engineering" for EL since we got Fivetran.

What do you dislike about the product?
Customization options are limited. Like forcing us into soft-deletes rather than allowing an option for hard-deletes.
Single tables can get shockingly expensive. Where 95% of our cost for a database is coming from our messages table.
DBT support is not available for SQL Server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Burning too much time doing data engineering without a qualified resource. Not having pipelines fail due to schema changes or dropped or added columns. Having new columns added immediately is huge and saves so much time. Not having to manually create columns and tables in SQL is a blessing.
Nice service to get sources moving. Lots of surprises regarding cost, so plan very carefully.
What do you like best about the product?
Overall ase of use, quick and thorough setup
What do you dislike about the product?
Costs. Onboarding process with sales was either misleading or simply not thought out well enough; they had verbally assured us of guesstimate costs based on our industry, but once we were using it their estimate was very far off the mark.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ease of use in gathering 3rd party data sources that we needed.
It works very well once setup correctly.
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is very easy to use and it works without much of a hassle.
What do you dislike about the product?
It doesnt have enough connectors and adding more connectors is not as easy.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am using Fivetran to connect our excel data in sharepoint with Snowflake and it worked quite well.
Reliable, consistent and easy to get started with, but with many levels of complexity
What do you like best about the product?
The API is brilliant. Well documented and easy to understand, it is simple to work with and where things fall short, experimenting in the UI and then replicating the results via the API is straight forwards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The knowledge of third-party APIs and metrics needed to make the most of the system and the many mandatory fields in pre-built reports.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran helps us integrate with multiple data sources. It cuts down the time we need to integrate data from a new source, reducing our need to develop many different methods of authorising data collection and fetching data.
