Most Reliable Managed ETL Service
What do you like best about the product?
Probably the most reliable ETL as a service. Support is quick when there are issues with the data, or when we have general questions.
What do you dislike about the product?
"Opaque" box-ish. Problems need to be resolved through Fivetran Support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Quick ETL pipelines. Especially when we aren't doing anything crazy to the data coming in, or for data sets that are low impact / high effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Great for quick pipelines. If you do a lot of in database transformations, and don't have heavy security needs (encrypting pii, etc), it's a great tool. Or if you need data in a db quickly and cheaply, they are definitely the way to go
Fivetran Makes Loading Data Easy
What do you like best about the product?
There are multiple existing connectors that make it easy to connect different systems and load data into our warehouse.
The connectors are easy to configure and you can get up and running really quickly.
Alerts show when there are issues with your connectors that need your attention.
You also get email notifications when a connector is delayed and when it resumes, so you can always be on top of things.
When there is an issue, support is there to help you to try to find a solution.

What do you dislike about the product?
When you run into an issue, it is not always easy to understand what is causing the error. When it works, it just works. But, when it doesn't, it can be difficult to understand the issue without trial and error.
Sometimes, it is just easier to ask support to help you troubleshoot, even though it can take a bit more time to get a solution to your problem.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting multiple systems and some Google Sheets to load all our data into our data warehouse.
Fivetran works as our loader in our ELT BI stack.
We use it to load our data from many systems, including our custom-built professional services management tool using the SQL Server connector, Jira, Hubspot and many others. The data is loaded straight into our Snowflake database and it's easy to query for new data with the timestamps that Fivetran adds to each row.

What do you like best about the product?
An Integration with multiple sub-systems
What do you dislike about the product?
I think the user interface could be improved
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Great integration to centralize our business information from CRM, Jira, production data and some Google sheets
Fivetran for Data Replication
What do you like best about the product?
It was quick and easy to get started with Fivetran and concentrate on just what I needed to know when working with our data pipelines. Fivetran sends helpful notifications about data syncs when they fail or get delayed. I've also had positive experiences with their support team as well; I got quick, helpful responses when I've needed to contact them with questions or concerns in the past.
What do you dislike about the product?
Fivetran is unable to capture certain functions, like cascading deletes, which led to some issues using it for replication as we've relied heavily on cascade deletes in the past and updating our entire application to not use them would take significant amounts work. You can use a post-load transformation to mitigate this and mark certain records as deleted as a workaround. We also discovered an issue where duplicate rows with entirely identical information weren't getting synced over properly--only the first row would get replicated and the others were being ignored as duplicates of it. This caused some table row counts to not match up when we audited the replicated data against the source database. Including primary keys on your tables prevents this, but it can be a problem for older tables that were not set up properly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Fivetran to replicate our transactional databases and allow our data science team to perform more intensive operations without affecting production environments than we could otherwise. It's also allowed us to leverage more powerful tools like Snowflake for generating data insights which helps with performance constraints or lack of historical data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be sure to read about which functions aren't supported when considering your Fivetran needs so you don't run into a few of the small pains we discovered later.
On the Train
What do you like best about the product?
It's easy to use and support is always there for you if you need it. It also integrated with other systems that we use for data.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have any problems so far with it. I wish it has SCIM provisioning though
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't have any problems so far with it. Can't complain.

Works well, simple to use
What do you like best about the product?
How quickly you can upload spreadsheets to tables.
What do you dislike about the product?
It was a little unintuitive to use the very first time. I believe it was between the selecting data to upload and then turning the uploaded data into tables screens.... the experience just became a little disjointed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We're turning spreadsheets into tables, simple enough. Saves time
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Not sure this applies.
Amazing Product and Awesome People
What do you like best about the product?
This may sound silly, but what I like best is FiveTran does exactly what it promises to do. I don't think you can approach a modern data architecture and not consider a product like FiveTran which offloads the burden of creating custom data integration scrips from your development team to pre-built connectors. They support a tremendous number of data sources with their prebuilt connectors. We have implemented over 20 to date and all have worked flawlessly. I'm so happy to be done with custom ETL tools and hiring in house develops to build and maintain. I also know that my data engineers and analysts are much happier focusing on insight and on how to get data from A to B. It pays for itself in terms of time savings.
The sales process was very professional and the FiveTran team invested a lot of time in helping us to create a proof of concept so we could really see the tool in action. After the sale was done the on-boaring team was great and provided wonderful training session and continue to remain responsive to all questions. Great people all around.

What do you dislike about the product?
While all of the connectors work very well we have had a few moments where it wasn't clear what the sync status was. When you first implement a connector and especially if there is a large amount of data we found that we we not always clear on when the initial sync was completed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The biggest issue we solved is the lack of ability to pull in more data to our Snowflake data warehouse. We had a single ETL developer slaving away for months to get one data source setup. With FiveTran we implemented 20 in 2 months. We are saving a ton of time and effort.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take a serious look at FiveTran.
Easy simple and gets the job done
What do you like best about the product?
How simple it is to configure connectors
What do you dislike about the product?
There is no bulk actions to create many connectors at once
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our use case is to create replication of db schemes from production to our data analysis layer
My team is a heavy user of Fivetran to Snowflake. We are actively exploring Fivetran to Delta
What do you like best about the product?
The stability of Fivetran to Snowflake has been great. SLA is matching with Punchh's requirement.
What do you dislike about the product?
No much. Just wanted to see a stable Fivetran to Delta coming out ASAP.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
MySQL to Fivetran to data lake. Current lake is snowflake. The future is general Hadoop (databricks, qubole, etc)
As a data ingestion tool, Fivetran has been a great help.
