Great no-hassle option for data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
The number of connectors, visibility into the ingestion process, ease of setup, ease of use
What do you dislike about the product?
Database connectors can be expensive, and streaming ingestion is limited
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We introduced Fivetran to ingest data from third parties, and it was the perfect option. The total cost of ownership is much lower than with a custom solution, and everything worked as expected out of the box!
Census is a no brainer - saves so much time & scales our team
What do you like best about the product?
1. It brings data into tools with no engineering effort - which allows us to scale out our small team & bring the data to reps they need to do their jobs more effectively
2. It automates data pulls and processes we do daily/weekly/monthly for business operations which saves us a ton of time

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing - its really intuitive to use. Only downside is you have to pay for the number of syncs you use so we have to track & optimize the ones we use vs being able to go unlimited
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We need to get reps the data they need in the tools they're already working in. We want to be able to do that quickly & ideally without a big engineering lift. Census allows us to scale out these efforts quickly & easily.

Overall, there aren't any big issues with Census, but few things which can be improved are:

What do you dislike about the product?
- Pricing can get pretty expensive and is hard to calculate (as is it based on MAR)
- dbt integration has still a lot of room for improvement (and is pretty pricey as well)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Buy instead of self build data pipeline. For most usecases it is just basic config and works perfectly. Depending on your plan you can even go to neartime reporting scenarios (sync every 5 or 15 minutes with the source data)
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is pretty good at what it is supposed to do (data pipeline as a service)
Phenomenal Product
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Census is it allows us to send data from our warehouse back into data sources such as Salesforce and Intercom. Additionally, it has the capabilities to use data models to drive slack alerts.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one function that doesn't exist yet is direct messaging someone in slack. Right now you can only sync data into a slack channel. It'd be great to have the ability to direct message, someone, from slack via Census
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have solved a variety of problems, the biggest being helping operationalize our data and give it to employees that can quickly take action on it. Additionally we have enhanced our salesforce environment with custom metrics and KPIs from data in our warehouse.
Seamless Ease & Excellent Visibility
What do you like best about the product?
I've had a lot of bad experiences with "out of the box" data connectors so I began my relationship with Fivetran with a lot of skepticism. I have been blown away by every step of the process. The sales process was easy and accomodating, pricing was upfront and transparent. Setting up the connections to my data was so easy that I couldn't believe I'd done it correctly the first time. The visibility into the load, performance, and errors on my various connectors is also excellent and helps me stay on top of any issues that do crop up. I'm only scratching the surface of what FiveTran has to offer but so far I've been very pleased.
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I haven't had a single complaint.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As with most, our use with Fivetran is to move the data from the various tools we use into our data warehouse. In our case, we are taking data from things like Stripe, Hubspot, Facebook Ads, and on and on, and sending all of those various sources into Google BigQuery.
FiveTran Gets it Done
What do you like best about the product?
FiveTran isn't perfect, and we had some concerns about their pricing model -- but DAMN does it work really well. It took us about 30 minutes to configure everything and have data replicating from source system to data warehouse. Well worth the cost.
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model gives me some pause, and I don't like that there is an upcharge to version data (e.g. store different permutations of rows as data changes... but again it's worth it).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Replicating data from source systems to data warehouse. This helps our small team focus on modeling data and driving business value rather than on extracting and loading data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Make sure to re-evaluate and investigate other vendors (e.g. AirByte), but if you need to move quickly and can afford it, Fivetran is best in class.
Lume Fivetran Experience
What do you like best about the product?
The ease with which connections can be established and the manner in which FiveTran handles delta loads
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes we have challenges with the default API connector and the MySQL connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data loading from multiple data sources. Scheduling of data extractions on a daily basis. Love the product.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Leverage built-in connectors with FiveTran as much as possible. Have a DBA ready when working on connections as there are often little nuances that they are needed for.
