Freshdesk intagration and schemas description
What do you dislike about the product?
So far I feel that the price is very high
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our entire data warehouse architecture is using fivetran to bring data from so many datapoints without developing
Great tool but at high price
What do you like best about the product?
Great tool that comes with a lot of connectors and a good customer support. We appreciate that a comprehensive API is avialble because we have a lot of connectors that need to be managed programmatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Quite expensive compared to compeititors.
Billing process through GCP marketplace is a mess.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
ELT connectors for Ads, Analytics and sales data for multiple E-comm stores.
Great plug-ans-play solution for data ingestion
What do you like best about the product?
Th pre-built connectors makes data integration super easy, without the need of an expensive data engineering team. If you are using DBT, there is a DBT package for most of the pre-built connectors that will provide configurable data marts/models.
What do you dislike about the product?
New connectors are released infrequently, and pricing is somewhat opaque if you are not familiar. It is somewhat opinionated, so if you are not already using a modern data stack w. their preferred partners it's a bit harder to integrate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deliver value to internal stakeholders quickly, without the need for an expensive data engineering team and stack.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If starting from scratch, try to ensure you are using the full list of preferred data stack.
Great portal and support but connector bugs let it down
What do you like best about the product?
Portal is very intuitive and support updates are good
What do you dislike about the product?
Pipedrive connector bugs cause us some headaches
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Simple cloud based data transfer opens up Tableau reporting
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Seek reviews for the connector you wish to use to ensure its effective and bug free
Data analytics manager
What do you like best about the product?
The product is really easy to use, and the pipelines seems working good.
We also have a good customer relationship, with Lea and Amine which count a lot when you're taking such a product.

What do you dislike about the product?
dbt is not working, i'm trying to get multiple data replication from different sources as the product dbt can do it, but we are facing trouble to develop packages
I'm also having some troubles to understand the data from the table replicated

Quick and Easy but very expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The ease and the people who helped me throught the process.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is so very expensive. Also you can't set a hard limit on the amount of euro's you want to spend.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Extracting data from various sources to a datawarehouse. The benefits are that I have to invest less time to build it myself. Also it is less error prone
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Do it only if you want to get it up and running like hell. But it is very expensive.

What do you like best about the product?
Easy adaptors that help in getting various different data sources connected quickly enables easy engineering in the data warehouse development. This is helpful!
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitation as many data sources like AppsFlyer which is the most commonly used tool is not supported. Also the support from the team on any such cases are very poor. We really are chasing every day to get this response but support is very bad!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Bring data from various different data sources to our platform without having to write custom adaptors /additional engineering efforts to develop adaptors or maintain those are the benefits.
Low barrier to entry but gets pricey
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is the defacto ETL SaaS product out there. Fivetran has a low barrier to entry and is reliable, and the interface is intuitive. Getting setup and working is comparatively quick. Documentation is very well done and has been easy to find and use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It gets pricey fast. I've seen bills where our ETL costs were higher than our warehousing costs. While it is mostly set and forget, there are times when additional configuration changes were necessary to fix issues as we scaled.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use it for ETL from our OLTP databases to our OLAP databases. Fivetran has kept our data moving without significant investment or management, this has allowed us to focus elsewhere.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Their discounting scheme is a bit opaque. Price it out first and understand your costs.
Recommendation
What do you like best about the product?
fivetran has been very useful for me to be able to sync my data in an easy way, and the best part is that fivetran provides a 'tutorial' on connectors making the process easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't have much idea of the price I'm going to spend, the added lines are a bit confusing for me
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
platform integration
Good, reliable product, but the billing structure and UI can be confusing
What do you like best about the product?
The data schemas produced by Fivetran are clear and well documented.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is difficult to estimate and understand billing costs, or predict what actions will result in a large increase in costs. I also find the UI somewhat unintuitive at times. It can take me a bit of time to find what I am looking for.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Fivetran as an additional ETL tool for data sources for which our other ETL tools do not offer an integration.
