Fivetran is super easy to work with
What do you like best about the product?
How quick I can get a feed from my data sources to my data warehouse. It has great insights and notifications if there are any troubles, but honestly we set it and forget it.
What do you dislike about the product?
The logging for connectors is a little hard to decipher but all in all it has the information needed to know whats going on. If they made it a little more user friendly to understand it would be helpful. The other thing that I wished was they were quicker at getting to connector requests. I have a couple I have been waiting for that I would love to see added.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are solving getting our data source data to our data warehouse in near realtime with minimal effort. This allows us to focus time on true engineered solutions without getting bogged down in how I get data from point a to point b
Great platform. Easy to use.
What do you like best about the product?
The five transplatform allows you to have end to end pipelines built from start to finish in minutes.
What do you dislike about the product?
The pricing model is more complicated than any other platform.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Fivetran allows us to lemonade a huge number of swivel chair data management tasks. It has also made the creation of a data warehouse incredibly simple.
Connecting the unconnectable
What do you like best about the product?
The ease of use and the clear instructions that are provided by FiveTran. I have never used anything like this before and I thought it was going to challenge me. It didn't I did hit some hurdles along the way but these were easily resolvable.
What do you dislike about the product?
At first, because I hadn't used anything similar before to FiveTran, it didn't feel intuitive to use, however once I understood the processes and requirements I soon worked it all out.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
we are connecting the data we store in our ad server to Power BI. This allows us to visualise our data in a way that we have never seen before. This allows us to bring down our reporting times
Easy to use and very reliable ELT tool with great set of connectors offering granular data
What do you like best about the product?
The simple interface makes use of the tool extremely simple for the less technical analysts / non-Data Engineers. Only basic SQL code is required to perform comprehensive ELT processes.
The vast number of connectors makes accessing all data from across the business incredibly simple and quick.
The recent addition of dbt makes the set up and management of the transformation layer much easier and the off-the-shelf dbt models that Fivetran offer are a great starting point.

What do you dislike about the product?
In order to perform ELT fully, knowledge of dbt would be required to implement the downstream dependencies. Without this, it makes changing the ELT process more manual and error-prone.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collating all data from across the business into one data warehouse without the need for expensive Data Engineers. This has allowed me to maintain a small, nimble data team that provides maximum value to the business by joining up siloed data to uncover hidden insights that would otherwise have gone unnoticed if still working with disparate data sets.
Fivetran is a generally good solution for our data elt needs
What do you like best about the product?
The large number of available connectors and easy to use interface
What do you dislike about the product?
- Slowest sync frequency is 24 hours
- Can not set sync hours to be within a window of time (working hours) without having to use the fivetran api
- Doesn't have a connector to Amazon Seller Central
- Would be great to be able to only sync certain records within a specific table (based of sql query or filter)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Transfering data from data sources to warehouse.
This makes it significantly easier to analyze data from all sources.

Good experience so far, just a bit expensive
What do you like best about the product?
- Super easy to set up
- Documentations are clear
- Documentations are clear
What do you dislike about the product?
I experienced a bug a few weeks back. When I set up a connector, all the tests passed, but when I did the sync, I kept getting a null pointer error.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ingesting a few third-party data sets. No need to manage API connectors ourselves, very handy.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Very useful for handling a large number of API connectors
A nice tool for ETL
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy the speed and capability of Fivetran, as well as the flexibility. It's a true data integration tool combined with many features and provides tremendous functionality for sharing and controlling the ETL pipeline.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish the product would make warehouse recommendations and seamless integration. Also, I would appreciate it if the documentation could cover more on various APIs and make the developers easier.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to send emails and invite the users. And all these ingestion work is through Fivetran. The whole process is simplified anad deinitely reduced our work a lot.
VP, Analytics
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran makes data engineering accessible to business users. It has dramatically improved the reliability of our data in Snowflake for much less than a FTE.
What do you dislike about the product?
Account onboarding could have been smoother, aside from that the product just works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We do not have the capacity or resources to hire a full time data engineer to oversee an in-house solution. Getting accurate data flows into snowflake is critical.
Great ETL Tool to load data into Snowflake
What do you like best about the product?
Setting up most of the connectors is easy and they have lots of documentation available. The integration with dbt Core to power transformations has been very powerful.
What do you dislike about the product?
Unable to do any kind of transformations or changes before the data is loaded into the destination.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Unable to connect to a few data sources
Nice no-code ETL solution
What do you like best about the product?
Flexible table schemas if the API allows. Setting up most of the connectors is straightforward and they have heaps of documentation on the others. I appreciate that they're leaning in to dbt to handle transforms instead of trying to write their own UI. That might be less approachable for some teams, but if you're already converted to dbt it's great.
What do you dislike about the product?
I thought I wouldn't run in to anything it couldn't connect to--but it turns out I do fairly frequently. There are also some undocumented features that are a little frustrating. More than once I've had a customer service rep say they could enable something for me--but if I had not contacted them I wouldn't know that feature existed. Finally you are locked in to schema and table names very early in the process, so if you are going to be connecting a lot of tables in a lot of databases you need to be conscientious about naming conventions early on because changing is a pain.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data aggregation for a host of marketing clients. We connect mostly Google Analytics, Google Ads, Facebook Ads.
