I work in a company where Fivetran is being used, and we pay the licenses to them. We use it as a customer with a lot of different sources to our databases, such as Google Cloud Storage. Fivetran is used to establish data connections in the pipeline, for example, from SAP S4HANA to Google Cloud Storage.

Enhanced data pipeline connectivity with user-friendly interface
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Fivetran provides a user-friendly interface, which makes data pipelining and connecting the source and the destination easier.
What is most valuable?
The user interface is mostly UI-based, eliminating the need for a lot of coding. Furthermore, Fivetran offers scheduled pipeline extraction up to twelve times in a day.
What needs improvement?
There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high. Additionally, conducting extractions with transformations, like removing null values or doing simple calculations, is difficult. Vendor support is also slow to respond.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using it for a year.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The solution is not stable due to issues with vendor support when problems occur.
How are customer service and support?
Vendor support is not very good, and it takes time to reach out.
How was the initial setup?
The vendor handles installations on our PCs, and we receive updates either monthly or half-yearly.
What about the implementation team?
The vendor's partners are involved in updates being held on a scheduled basis.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The cost is high for using Fivetran.
What other advice do I have?
The response sense is not very high, so it's a problem. Pricing is an expensive solution.
I'd rate the solution ten out of ten.
