Best tool for extracting and loading data into data warehouses
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran gives new users sufficient time to trial the product. There is a very thorough collection of built connectors, with option to request new ones. The documentation is one of the best I have seen. And, the team was very responsive and easy to do business with. I was notified by email of all errors and downtimes.
What do you dislike about the product?
A tool this good does come with a price tag. It is certainly not cheap. The pricing model is based on MAR, which is a different concept to wrap your head around with, but not too difficult to make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Fivetran to solve the data silo and reporting silo problems. With minimal effort, we were able to make data from multiple sources available in our selected destinations, ready for transformation. It's also a great relief to know that Fivetran does minimal necessary transformation with the data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is the best fit for our use case, based on engineering capacity, budget, usage and etc. It is important to understand the pricing model before you sign the contract. Contact your Fivetran rep and ask as many questions as you need. From my experience, they are very responsive and helpful.
