Easy Data Integration
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes data integration quick and easy. Painless syncing of an external data source into your database.
What do you dislike about the product?
Rare data outages. The page to refresh data often fails to update to let you know the update is complete, but that can be worked around with a page refresh.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data integrations. We've saved engineering time that we're now able to use for new features instead.

What do you dislike about the product?
Everyone's wishlist of connectors is long and varied. As a marketing agency, we wish to have a lot more digital marketing connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran offers a really scalable way for us to add any number of data connections. This has not only helped us automate our internal dashboard needs but in fact enables us to build a product that's powered by Fivetran.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
There are a lot of data integration players in the market. We tried a few of them and finally are very happy with Fivetran. Their new pricing model makes it easy to deploy many connections because pricing is based on MAR (Monthly Active Rows) instead of per connection.
Fivetran for marketing
What do you like best about the product?
UI is simple. Very easy to setup connectors. Documentation links you to the exact steps needed to setup connectors.
What do you dislike about the product?
Customer service and time to address issues can be slow. We are finding a lot of vendors/systems that they dont have connectors for. ETA on new connectors is not transparent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Really easy to setup integrations. Low maintenance. Reliable when it is setup.
User-friendly data connections
What do you like best about the product?
How easy it is to get connections set up
What do you dislike about the product?
No issues. Does everything I need it to.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran makes it easy to set up data connections across a variety of sources
Good tool to use for sync up source data
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up and configure the tool, did not use many features as the project did not require it
upside -- easy to monitor the loads

What do you dislike about the product?
failures, resulting in a delay in updates, most of the job failures are getting fixed by themselves, which makes it difficult to answer the root cause
Many times failed but delay in the response from "fivetran "on real-time data, causing the reality of the tool

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Sync up the source system to the reporting database, very useful for getting real-time reporting
the project is to sync up the source data for reporting in near real-time ( 15 minutes interval)

Recommendations to others considering the product:
Good tool, easy to install and maintain
Great Product
What do you like best about the product?
Its easy to use and easily detects new field additions
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the data loads fails for few of the tables.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are doing data loads in Fivetran and today all our salesforce data is pushed in the warehouse by Fivetran
Sam W's Completely Honest Fivetran Review
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy to set up connectors and sync data with them. Notifications if pipelines are working or not. Mostly a set and forget system. Customer support was good when I had to use them. 14 day free trials for connectors is great, too! Very good for itnegrating with 3rd party data.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is insanely expensive for what it is doing, and we had resistance from our rep to lower our plan. No ability to use postgres connector on the lower business plan, which we would be very likely to use. I'm afraid of using it for postgres because the cost will be so expensive since we have a lot of updated rows.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Solves having to build connectors to 3rd party data, such as hubspot, optimizely, and salesforce. However, we don't find it useful for postgres (see above). I like that it handles schema changes for us as well. The DBT packages that fivetran has put out seem great, although we are only using the hubspot one. I like that they have useful transforms ready to go so it goes beyone just replicating data.
Absolute game changer
What do you like best about the product?
For starters, the user interface is very friendly and intuitive. The administration of the tool requires very little effort. Fivetran works seamlessly with our Google Cloud Platform tech stack and requires almost zero troubleshooting efforts with the various connectors available. I especially love that the logging integrates so well with Google Stackdriver logs, allowing our team to see everything in one place. The support team is also highly responsive and knowledgeable. Any issues that have cropped up were promptly resolved.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, seriously. I have yet to encounter anything that I dislike about FT. We have used a data replication competitor for quite some time (which will remain anonymous), and FT blows them out of the water. This is not so much of a dislike, but I would love to see FT continue to expand their various connectors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use FT to replicate data from various platforms into our GCP data stack. These range from CRMs, marketing /advertisement, to billing platforms for our SaaS company. This abstracts the need for engineers such as myself to build out data pipelines using an API. It really minimizes the amount of development and maintenance of additional data pipelines where a FT connector is available, allowing us to better focus our time on data consumption (and pipeline building where a connector is unavailable).
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would recommend others to give it a try! There are pretty nifty sandbox connectors that you can easily integrate into your data warehouse to explore the tool. I *believe* there is a trial period to test the product before your billing cycle starts (don't quote me on this).
Nice, intuitive ETL with good features
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is intuitive and comes across very naturally to users, both technical and non-technical. Compared to other similar GUI-based ETL tools, the various views it provides for a user to see what work they've done is more transparent (i.e., I can click on a page and know precisely what I'm looking at). The pipeline is fully managed, and setting up your connections is straightforward.
What do you dislike about the product?
The cost is a little high if you only have a few connectors- I wouldn't necessarily use Fivetran for a lightweight proof of concept. Also, as with any ETL tool, sometimes it's hard to get the exact transformation that you want.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It was simple to create an ETL pipeline for data from Salesforce into GCP.
Well documented, easy to follow and all in one platform
What do you like best about the product?
The well structured documentation makes FiveTran an easy to follow software. Also the dashboard helps to view and analyse the insights of the usage metrics. 14 days trial period is well enough to understand FiveTran APIs.
What do you dislike about the product?
FiveTran doesn't provide a call back hook on completion of their bigquery dataset sync. Also their are no existing client libraries for easily implementing FiveTran REST APIs in applications.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I have been developing a python client library for FiveTran REST APIs. That will help developers to easily integrate FiveTran to their applications.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Because of its easiness to integrate in any application, well structured documentation, good customer support, I am sure that it will worth every penny. So I am pretty much confident to suggest to others
