Good documentation, simple use and a lot of connectors but also the most expensive
What do you like best about the product?
The trial period was excellent since we were in constant contact with their team. Their team helped to solve issues and answer questions. They extended the trial period to 60 days for us also, which was nice.
They are the only tool we found which supports Apple AppStore Connect.
Their UI/UX and documentation for the connectors are excellent, and they have publicly available schemas.
They provide an API that can be used to trigger operations programmatically.
They provide historical sync for all connectors. Other tools we evaluated like Hevo Data only provide point-forward data ingestion but cannot retrieve older records.
Their AWS Lambda connector is elegant for solving custom data ingestion sources not supported natively.

What do you dislike about the product?
The price tag is at least twice as expensive as other tools we evaluated.
We cannot specify a primary key for the s3 connector, so we end up with duplicate rows when we load data from that source.
It would be nice to see support for real-time data ingestion (eg. load a file as soon as it lands in an s3 bucket)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We needed to ingest data from multiple applications and data sources into our Data Warehouse in Snowflake. We are a small team of Data Engineers, and our data sources continue to grow, so we needed something that allowed us to move fast.
The product is very good, the price is expensive

Fivetran is very good to consume information from Google Analytics, Search, LinkedIn, Facebook and most of marketing-related APIs

Easy way to connect your data
What do you like best about the product?
Connectors that Fivetran has allowed us to get the data from multiple sources.

The place where you paste the query for the transformatios is just anoying you can't edit the query there.

I have been a fivetran user for around 4 years
What do you like best about the product?
Data quality is good. It's easy to use even at large scale implementations, with low administrative overhead. The large amount of possible sources of data is really useful, we could solve many hard request with Fivetran.
What do you dislike about the product?
The way of calculating billing (MAR based) is extremely hard to explain to CFO, and almost impossible to control or influence to lower costs.
It doesn't have integration with cloud provider to move data with thousands of sources, you must configure each auth and connection.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Data centralization is the first one.
Fivetran allows us to concentrate all the data from so many different sources to a single DW in a matter of weeks, which has proven extremely useful company-wide.

Great solution but impossible to estimate how much it is going to cost in advance
What do you like best about the product?
Great solution to automate the extract part of the ETL process. It integrates with all the SaaS we use.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is basically impossible to figure out how much it is going to cost from the get-go.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Pulling data from all our business systems into one place is straight-forward
Productive and helpful
What do you like best about the product?
Simplicity in the UI as well as the individual connectors.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find some of the fields required to implement a connector to be confusing.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Multiple pipelines.
Nice experience. Easiness and fastness
What do you like best about the product?
Easiness and fastness. Also the feedback it provides
What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard on the usage is a little bit complex and the connectors, even if the diversity is growing fast, i'm missing some key ones
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Two problems mainly: 1. to give autonomy to the teams to better include their data into our centralized database. 2. To centralise data faster
used it in Bigquery datatransfer
What do you like best about the product?
Easy to start use, no need to develop your own API call system to sync data from 3rd party vandord
What do you dislike about the product?
When problems happened, i need a fivetran support and can't fix them by myself
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Synchronizing Apple Store data to BigQuery
Good Product, Easy Setup, Few Issues
What do you like best about the product?
Setup was straightforward, the connections Fivetran has to different ad platforms were easy to use (just needed to login for the most part).
What do you dislike about the product?
Not much, a few syncing issues at first but those are being resolved by our outside consultant.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I needed a platform that can easily move data from our ad platforms into our data warehouse. Fivetran came highly recommended because of both the ease of initial setup but also the quality of its integrations.
Neat integration tool
What do you like best about the product?
It's incredibly easy to setup data sources and pipe them where you need especially to Snowflake.
What do you dislike about the product?
There can be some quirks with pricing especially APIs. Start small let ecahbconnection settle then evaluate the cost.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Brining in YouTube data alongside add revenue data to generate some attributable metrics relating to video performance
