I work in a company where Fivetran is being used, and we pay the licenses to them. We use it as a customer with a lot of different sources to our databases, such as Google Cloud Storage. Fivetran is used to establish data connections in the pipeline, for example, from SAP S4HANA to Google Cloud Storage.

Enhanced data pipeline connectivity with user-friendly interface
What is our primary use case?
How has it helped my organization?
Fivetran provides a user-friendly interface, which makes data pipelining and connecting the source and the destination easier.

There is not a lot of options to customize the pipeline, and the cost is high. Additionally, conducting extractions with transformations, like removing null values or doing simple calculations, is difficult. Vendor support is also slow to respond.

The cost is high for using Fivetran.
