VFM ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Credit based system, instead of fixed monthly charges in major advantage. On successive sync, they charge only for delta, that is a huge plus, considering successive sync have less data as compared to first sync.
Other thing, they have a variety of connectors to fetch data from different sources.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there were issues with connector data fetching
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to build eCommerce specific data analytics system. Instead of building our connectors and data pipeline. Fivetran offered that complex part to build our MVP, we can focus on the analytics part only.

Data From Here to There w/ the Click of a Button
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran provides an extremely simple way to move data from our vendors into a consolidated Biqquery instance. Almost always operates in a "set it and forget it" fashion
What do you dislike about the product?
Connectors are limited to major vendors.
Connectors sometimes make needless API calls. For example: with Marketo we want to sync 90% of the data regularly but a few tables more sporadically due to the amount of data they hold. To accomplish this, we can have two separate connectors for Marketo with different sync frequencies. The problem is that both of these connectors make redundant bulk API calls that bump us closer to our daily call limit.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Consolidating major vendor data (Linkedin, Facebook, Salesforce, Marketo, etc.) into a central data repository (Bigquery)
Makes my job easy
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is intuitive and easy to use. Our data pipelines are reliable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes I need to resync tables. We hit volume limits in our saleforce sync and sometimes those loads fail.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We don't need to spend our resources writing ETL pipelines
Fivetran does what it needs to do - extract and load data periodically - without much work
What do you like best about the product?
The onboarding was super quick. The UI is intuitive. The documentation is simple and accessible.
There is a wide variety of connectors. And for internal APIs or obscure SaaS apps, you can always write a custom connector through Cloud Functions hosted on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Staff support has always been prompt.

What do you dislike about the product?
It can be pricey. The pricing structure around MARs can be challenging to comprehend.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We have automated the loading of data from various data sources into our warehouse daily and reliably. This lets us focus on building models instead of on having to build systems to extract data.
Fivetran Review
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of creating automated pipelines and the ability to integrate external data easily
What do you dislike about the product?
Unavailability of Google Drive as a data source
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate and save time on ETL/ELT, looked into database replication as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is revolutionizing the ETL/ELT space. I look upon it as a gamechanger when it comes to the modern data stack.
Easy to use, intuitive tool
What do you like best about the product?
The interface is clean. It's a very easy-to-use, intuitive tool, and you don't even need to look for documentation when setting up a new connection, it's right there for you.
What do you dislike about the product?
The schema is helpful, but I'd like it even better if the schema also provides additional information about the definitions of tables and columns, what they are intended for. Troubleshooting is difficult. When I notice data discrepancy, I don't see a lot of options other than resyncing historical data.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pipe data from different sources to destinations
For most connectors it works great
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of getting a third party connector setup
What do you dislike about the product?
For some connectors we have had issues. They are usually the newer connectors and are fixed within a few months.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ETL'ing data from non database formats and third party software to our datawarehouse
Fivetran is very user friendly and efficient to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Fivetran is user-friendly and easy to use. The learning curve is very minimal, and it gets the job done well. The process of loading data into my pipelines is very straightforward. It also allows non-technical stakeholders to load data just as fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of choosing a new name for a google sheet despite deleting a previous sheet with the desired name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some problems that I'm solving with Fivetran include automating data upload for manual updates to tables. Fivetran has made it extremely easy for non-technical stakeholders to manage their own data tables. Fivetran's capabilities have saved my team and me a lot of time and effort by not creating new ETL pipelines for small tasks.
Easy and convinient way to perform ETL from different sources
What do you like best about the product?
It's swift to sync data from different sources.
What do you dislike about the product?
It sometimes takes a lot of time to connect with the support team in case of urgent issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am solving the issue of creating and managing ETL's
Started great. Then the pricing changed...
What do you like best about the product?
Most of the connectors work well. Data transfers / backups were easy to set up and monitor.
What do you dislike about the product?
Their Pardot connector continually breaks due to bad coding from their developer team. This causes multiple re-syncs (which goes against your usage) and frequent downtime. Their pricing model changed a few years ago that severely discourages growth. When we first signed up with them, we paid $9K per year flat (unlimited usage). Three years later, we were paying more than $26K per year with additional usage fees. The trajectory of the price increases was horrible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We stopped using FiveTran this year.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be very mindful of how much data you will transfer now and for the next 5 years. Look at the quote from FiveTran and then triple it. This will be closer to reality.
