Amazing integrations
What do you like best about the product?
Ease of connector use and variety of connector ecosystem. A lot of their connectors have really good schema which naturally fits the use case. Also whenever in doubt the documentation is very good, I refer to it
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing is pretty confusing and its a bummer that their logging feature is only available in a paid plan. They should really give solid examples on their website.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Google Ads, Bing, Yahoo Search data. Also GSC Data is super useful.
Great Product, but Beware the Cost
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran is almost unbelievably easy to configure and use. The free initial sync is an incredible feature, and MAR is pretty transparent and easy to work with. Fivetran support is also terrific.
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost can be prohibitive, and new users really need to pay attention to what they're planning to ingest. Expense can get out of hand quickly, which means you may end up supporting multiple pipeline tools anyway.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Extremely easy to use--basically replaces half an FTE for us.
We're using Powered by Fivetran for our customer experience
What do you like best about the product?
We love the range of connecters and destinations, the security (we work with investment managers) and the ability to embed Powered by Fivetran into our customer experience.
What do you dislike about the product?
We've certainly needed some help getting our connectors and processes set up and we had some onboarding issues but resolved now. Very help account manager and support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran provides us with the ability to connect to our clients data sources and bring that data into our benchmarking product - with our clients being comfortable that Fivetran is managing the process and the security.
Fivetran for Donuts
What do you like best about the product?
The integration between my POS data and anything else I might want to do with it is seamless
What do you dislike about the product?
Pricing is a little higher than I wouldve hoped but ultimately, worth it
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Projecting how many donuts to make each day using historical data extracted through Fivetran
Working well for out of the box and custom connectors
What do you like best about the product?
There is a wide variety of out of the box connectors for hundreds of sources and they all seem to work pretty well. I also like there isn't a charge on a per connector basis, it's based on rows.
What do you dislike about the product?
The customer connector setup works fine, however it takes a fair of technical work to write Lambda and integrate with FiveTran, I wonder if there could be a framework that could provide which would just work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
FiveTran is bringing data in for 4 different sources using out of the box connectors, we also write 2 of our custom connectors, to pull data from the source into our warehouse on a daily basis.
Very straight-forward and intuitive to use
What do you like best about the product?
- Setting up a new connector is very simple, never seen it in such an easy way
- During the trial and when trialing a new connector I love the usage estimator
- Documentation is very good and very helpful
- During the trial and when trialing a new connector I love the usage estimator
- Documentation is very good and very helpful
What do you dislike about the product?
- Quite some time for some connectors to understand how the data is structured (e.g. Hubspot does not match completely with the UI of the tool unless you apply some filtering)
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
- Setting up custom connectors not as intuitive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows for no code data extraction and modelling (pre-built dbt models that can be used) which is very intuitive and straight-forward even for a business user without engineering knowledge.
Extremely easy to get my datapipelines up and running
What do you like best about the product?
I think the automated startup experience is the best feature. It takes very little time to get up and running.
What do you dislike about the product?
I don't love how certain schema updates cost so much. With smaller companies that are constantly updating their database schemas, costs can add up.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran is just saving me time. Instead of me having to build a data pipeline to get production data into our warehouse, Fivetran does it for me. It saved me quite a bit of time and head ache.
A great service that helps us do some heavy lifting around data sync'ing
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran sync's several 3rd party services for us, meaning we didn't have to write custom code.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be complicated to align and predict the Consumption-Based Pricing and monthly active rows, especially for growing data sets or rapidly changing data sets.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connecting 3rd party data sources to our data lake. This gives my engineering teams time back and reduces low value areas we need to maintain.
The data ingestion that you neeed
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how easily we can set up a destination and connection in Fivetran. Fivetran also supports various connection types that we can use. Moreover, their support team is helpful and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
The thing that I dislike is the price that we need to pay. The price is relatively high. Another thing that can be improved as well for my current use case is by improving the data type support in PostgreSQL database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The main problem that Fivetran is solving is the complexity and the time required to build our own data ingestion pipelines. Especially when the source was varies. Fivetran solves those issues and make it easy to do data ingestion.
Simple, Quick, and Efficient
What do you like best about the product?
It is very simple, quick, and efficient to set up new sources. It provides great reporting on active rows and is easy to select and de-select tables to include. It has handled schema changes quite well.
I have not had to spend time doing "data engineering" for EL since we got Fivetran.

What do you dislike about the product?
Customization options are limited. Like forcing us into soft-deletes rather than allowing an option for hard-deletes.
Single tables can get shockingly expensive. Where 95% of our cost for a database is coming from our messages table.
DBT support is not available for SQL Server.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Burning too much time doing data engineering without a qualified resource. Not having pipelines fail due to schema changes or dropped or added columns. Having new columns added immediately is huge and saves so much time. Not having to manually create columns and tables in SQL is a blessing.
