Great solution but impossible to estimate how much it is going to cost in advance
What do you like best about the product?
Great solution to automate the extract part of the ETL process. It integrates with all the SaaS we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is basically impossible to figure out how much it is going to cost from the get-go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulling data from all our business systems into one place is straight-forward
Productive and helpful

Simplicity in the UI as well as the individual connectors.

I find some of the fields required to implement a connector to be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple pipelines.
Nice experience. Easiness and fastness
What do you like best about the product?
Easiness and fastness. Also the feedback it provides
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard on the usage is a little bit complex and the connectors, even if the diversity is growing fast, i'm missing some key ones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Two problems mainly: 1. to give autonomy to the teams to better include their data into our centralized database. 2. To centralise data faster
used it in Bigquery datatransfer
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to start use, no need to develop your own API call system to sync data from 3rd party vandord
What do you dislike about the product?
When problems happened, i need a fivetran support and can't fix them by myself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synchronizing Apple Store data to BigQuery
Good Product, Easy Setup, Few Issues
What do you like best about the product?
Setup was straightforward, the connections Fivetran has to different ad platforms were easy to use (just needed to login for the most part).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, a few syncing issues at first but those are being resolved by our outside consultant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a platform that can easily move data from our ad platforms into our data warehouse. Fivetran came highly recommended because of both the ease of initial setup but also the quality of its integrations.
Neat integration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to setup data sources and pipe them where you need especially to Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be some quirks with pricing especially APIs. Start small let ecahbconnection settle then evaluate the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brining in YouTube data alongside add revenue data to generate some attributable metrics relating to video performance
FiveTran - The flexible yet durable ETL
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran handles the simple UI well. Navigating and setting it up can be mainly done without documentation. The challenge we ran into before with other ETL's that had simple UI's is that they weren't very flexible. There would be rigid limitations in terms of the number of connections per account. Or how they would expect specific tables/fields to behave once selected for loading into a destination.
The best part was with Fivetran; all these minor caveats seemed to be handled and resolved.
Fivetran support system is excellent, as a support ticket is automatically created whenever any of your connectors have an issue. Helping you get a head start if a problem arises, which hasn't happened to me yet!
SSO was also a breeze to set up.

What do you dislike about the product?
The billing system is a bit confusing. While MAR seems like a simple concept, multiple rules make it a bit more complex to understand your bill at the end of the month. It is also pricier than its competitors.
It would be good to see more flexible schedule options. Utilizing the Quartz con expressions that other ETLs use would be a good addition.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
A simple Extract and Load process that our internal staff for our clients could easily support.
The largest benefit of using Fivetran has a centralized location to handle all of our client's connections and destinations that is easily supported by a non-technical resource.

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Give it a shot for their trial period. Compare to other ETL's and go from there.
Data pipeline and transformation done in mins
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity of loading required data based on the schema information and the ability to transform the data as per our needs, all of them in one-go
What do you dislike about the product?
As the number of data points to be ELT'ed becomes higher, the cost aspect is not suitable for startups. Therefore limiting the use or pressing us towards open source or scripting Solutions
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Aggregating data from numerous sources to a single data warehouse.
Benefits: Ability to analyze disparate information sources in a single place rather than using multiple data sources and use excel sheet to understand them altogether.

Very reliable and complete solution
What do you like best about the product?
It's huge catalogue of integrations, their reliability and the customer support

You need to be careful with the costs. With very high volume append only sources there may be cheaper alternatives

Integrating with many SaaS tools in an easy and fast way. It has saved us a lot of hours in development and maintenance
Maybe the best data delivery from source to destinatio amongst the market
