A third party product for ETL data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is a great alternative to the previous inhouse built platforms we use. Fivetran allows us to stand up new vendors in a day rather than weeks, allowing us to test many platforms and continue growing our options.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the support system of Fivetran, which is not as developed as other platforms such as Hightouch. These platforms are in the same space and offer different products, but Hightouch offers much stronger customer support in my experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is solving the issue of data ingestion via ETL for us. This allows us to bring marketing data in from vendors like Google and Facebook and then use the TOF data in our analysis in order to drive higher performance.

Fast, secure and the support is incredible!
What do you like best about the product?
It just works! Easy to setup an account, setup a source and a destination (given you have all proper accesses), and data just flows into a usable data model. Takes hours off from ETL developers so that they can focus on the "T". No need for a developer to go through days of reading documentation, testing integrations, transforming the data, etc.
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing sources from our pool of applications and the turnaround time to get access to a new source is very slow. The community voting system is great but this still means that I need to have a developer take weeks to integrate raw data from these missing sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fast data integration allows us to work on data models and transformations more quicker.
Good
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to use and get started on building out ETL framework.
What do you dislike about the product?
Needs more connectors, and even setting up simple REST APIs is complicated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
No data engineering team required, lots of pipelines are plug/play
Great for mature tech stacks and startups alike
What do you like best about the product?
ease of use, plug and play, detail of schemas, pre-built dbt packages
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is excessively expensive, it is based on volume rather than value. Some datasets are high volume low value and vice versa. We are not willing to spend so much money for low value high volume sets
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connectors between data sources and warehouse, e.g. Jira, Github etc
Big time saver, lots of well built integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is a "set it and forget it" product. It has saved our team countless hours of connecting data sources to our data warehouse and allows a large degree of flexibility in the schema.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have many complaints about fivetran. It's a bit expensive, but worth it to our team.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Getting data from various data sources into our data warehouse for our data science team to analyze.
Straight forward, intuitive and incredibly useful
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that no backend is needed in order to set it up. Postman, Curl, VS code all goes out the window when using Fivetran. Huge reduction of time spent setting up scheduled API and database connections. Saves a lot of time for a company like ours that doesn't have an IT department but still want real time performance dashboards.
What do you dislike about the product?
The premade reports are somewhat inconsistent over connectors. Would like a variable overview description for each connectors and use predefined metrics similarly to looker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Real time updates across all systems and a great overview of company performance. The most important thing is that we have all our data in one place (BQ) for AD HOC, dashboards, analysis, forecast etc... Before Fivetran we had data in all places and general overview and security were very low or not nonexistent. Today everything is automatic, simple and easy.
Easy Peasy
What do you like best about the product?
Lots of connectors available out of the box
What do you dislike about the product?
Can't choose cloud provider on Standard Plan
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting and synchronizing all of my data sources into Snowflake
Fivetran is the best ETL in the industry. No questions!

What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing model can be a bit confusing and hard to understand
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Helping us solve our entire data ingestion stack
A market leading data ingestion tool that has saved my team vast amounts of time!
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran supports a breadth of connectors, with clear SLAs to provide reliable uptime. The DBT integration and scheduling are a big plus for our data engineering team. Fivetran has a clear interface that allows users to log in and understand what is going on with ease. The alerting features are also useful to keep the team up to date on any issues.
What do you dislike about the product?
Currently, you cannot dual schedule on a connector ingest e.g. run every 15 minutes between 08:00-17:00 then run hourly between 17:00 and 08:00. People rarely need 15-minute refresh schedules overnight!
It would also be useful to decouple the ingest and transform scheduling so that they don't auto run together in sequence.
The costs of high-volume connectors are not the cheapest on the market.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is allowing our data engineering team to ingest and transform data (via DBT) in our environment at speed and with reliability, the tools are designed to reduce significant overheads of maintaining and monitoring data ingestion connections and feeds. The ability to pair with DBT allows for us to run our ingest and transform processes with more ease vs. some of the competitors that we assessed.
Fantastic product
What do you like best about the product?
It is simple to use. I came in with no data engineering experience and was able to set up our ETL without any problems.
What do you dislike about the product?
Some of the documents for setting up connectors are out of date
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It has made it easy to connect all of our data sources to our warehouse
