What do you dislike about the product?
Customer support has room for improvement. Support professionals must be more technical, and there should be live support.
Several times, it took weeks to even get a question answered for something that could have been resolved in a few minutes.

Fivetran and ease of use
What do you like best about the product?
It's pretty easy to get things up and running with minimal dev effort. As a company that deals with multiple fast paced start ups, we need to be able to quickly gather data and not spend time on small tasks.
What do you dislike about the product?
You are limited by the data model that fivetran has built out. This has been an issue when we try to scale our data capabilities. The connectors we've used usually have limits around historical information (faced this with Shopify and with Asana connectors). We've had to build and maintain our own etl tools.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Gathering data for various sources (google analytics, Shopify, shipping partners, etc.), with minimal effort
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is excellent when you have a small data team. It allows them to focus on extracting value from the data, instead of building out data pipelines. As you grow the team, you will likely need to build your own pipelines.
Simple & Straight Forward
What do you like best about the product?
A direct and straightforward user interface to quickly jump in set up your connections. The drag and drop functionality makes it rather accessible across the board.
What do you dislike about the product?
I haven't jumped into the deep end yet, but I see that some logging features seem to be lacking. There were issues with Google sheets, but that may be user error, but I'm still investigating.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bringing in various data sources into one singular source.
Data From Here to There w/ the Click of a Button
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran provides an extremely simple way to move data from our vendors into a consolidated Biqquery instance. Almost always operates in a "set it and forget it" fashion
What do you dislike about the product?
Connectors are limited to major vendors.
Connectors sometimes make needless API calls. For example: with Marketo we want to sync 90% of the data regularly but a few tables more sporadically due to the amount of data they hold. To accomplish this, we can have two separate connectors for Marketo with different sync frequencies. The problem is that both of these connectors make redundant bulk API calls that bump us closer to our daily call limit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating major vendor data (Linkedin, Facebook, Salesforce, Marketo, etc.) into a central data repository (Bigquery)
For most connectors it works great
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of getting a third party connector setup
What do you dislike about the product?
For some connectors we have had issues. They are usually the newer connectors and are fixed within a few months.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL'ing data from non database formats and third party software to our datawarehouse
Easy and convinient way to perform ETL from different sources
What do you like best about the product?
It's swift to sync data from different sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes takes a lot of time to connect with the support team in case of urgent issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the issue of creating and managing ETL's
Mission critical pipeline to keep the lights on
What do you like best about the product?
Easily hook up Redshift with Marketo, Braze, Salesforce and a number of other critical data sources. Their support engineers are really helpful and fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
They're a relatively newer company and sometimes don't have all the integrations you want (Braze took some time to get set up but is up and running now).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We got it to stitch a bunch of data sources together which allows us to answer critical business questions.
Fivetran is a good solution for data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
FiveTran has a good number of pre-created data connectors to data sources that we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It isn't the most affordable third party platform for this type of work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it to connect to our partner data sources to extract data from their system and get it over to our data warehouse in Snowflake.
Super User Friendly ETL
What do you like best about the product?
I like the ease of use of the interface.
What do you dislike about the product?
We had some data integrity issues for NetSuite last year which made it really tough to trust the system.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FiveTran allows us to easily connect all facets of our CRM, lead gen and order data to enable tracking of our customer journey
