I really like the IU, is friendly and easy to understand, also the real-time works as intended, and the best part is the support they have, they respond super fast in the Slack channel and they are always willing to help. To set up a new connector is pretty easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not a dislike but I may need a few connectors that they don't have yet so Im not sure how I will solve that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support actually has been more than outstanding, many hours spent talking with the estuary guys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As noted in the review no issues since that first outage Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Estuary is easy to configure not just in the UI, but also maintain using their flow documentation specification using CI/CD processes. This means you can do a baseline configuration in the UI and then immediately push that to your programmatic processes. The team is also extremely easy to engage with on their Slack.

Estuary does have a small barrier to entry for configuration of your own buckets to store state as compared to other products on the market. I believe overall this is better for customer security. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wanted to ETL Data from AWS Postgres to Snowflake and other AI tools. I tried a lot of routes including moving it to S3 and then to Snowflake via Snowpipe. Sometimes the data pipe worked but sometimes I have to manually run the copy queries.

After doing some research online I found out that Estuary Flow does the same pipe building with a click of a few buttons.

The same day I was able to migrate millions of rows. My S3 cost was reduced and I was able to achieve near real-time streaming. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Estuary can get the job done but it is not very popular within the E-comm sector. I hope they reach more people. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've been blown away by the speed and helpfulness of Estuary's support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There's a bit of a learning curve with the UI. I felt compelled to ask for help for simple things when initially getting set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like Estuary Flow. The tool works well and it is very fast. Setting up pipelines is simple and quick.

Their support is excellent. They always reply fast and are very helpful.

I also like that it can handle both real-time and batch data in one place, and it has many connectors ready to use.

Overall, Estuary Flow is reliable, easy to use, and supported by a great team. I strongly recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It takes some time to understand all the features at first. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Estuary is quite good. We transfer huge amounts of data from MongoDB to our warehouse and it's super smooth.

And yes, there were issues, but their support is equally good, and they solve everything quickly.

Very easy to integrate

We use it daily (in-fact it's always on) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Cost is slightly on a higher side.

So we have connected, MongoDB but we haven't connected Google Sheets, since for each connection they charge seperately.

So for Google Sheets, we use something else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Pre-Sales Process:

The Estuary team was very responsive, offered great support when it came to explaining what the product is good for and cases where it is not yet capable of ticking some boxes. The honesty and straight-forward approach was much appreciated and unusual in the space. Everybody we interacted with was very hands-on and had deep technical knowledge so answers came quickly in short timeframes and deadline pressures, and in cases where use-cases were complex, we were offered solutions and workarounds tailored to our needs.

The POC Process

Getting access to, and implementing the tool was very easy and efficient. Most of the connectors we required were already available and we were given clear information about which ones were (importantly) on the roadmap with timelines, making it easy to build trust. There were really cool additional features we made use of, such as Terraform compatibility and a command line tool, so we could spin up pipelines repeatably and reliably with a little bit of initial research around these features.

The Sales Process

The Estuary product was far more affordable than other products when it came to our use-case of tall narrow tables with many rows, since they have a Data Ingress/Egress based billing. This worked far better for us than other tools which take a row-based approach to billing, despite our total table sizes being comparatively small. We felt they partnered well with us and helped us find ways for us to do things more efficiently and had our best interests at heart, and it made for a mutually beneficial business relationship.

The Tool Itself

Estuary Flow has been a reliable tool, a real data/technical person's tool. The basics are simple to set up, but it does not preclude the ability for you to customize pipelines. It is very extensible. The architecture is robust and scalable and we have used it reliably for about a year with very few issues.

The Support

This is a very important area and Estuary have delivered on this in a stellar way. On the few occasions that we have had minor issues - Support from the team was very responsive; offering updates, feedback, timelines and solutions in real-time and really giving us the kind of peace of mind we need, at almost all hours. In some cases, where it was sensed that there may be misunderstandings; , they were happy to dig in on our behalf to sort urgent matters out quickly, . They maintained a great level of friendly professionalism and there was never a sense of apathy towards our needs, which can be common with some other data pipeline tools out there (especially the really big ones with heavy support processes and protocols, sending screenshots back and forth) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are almost no down-sides besides the fact that they are still building their number of connectors up to a number that rivals other data platforms (but cover most of the important connectors).

I would say that some of the terminology relating to pipeline components can be a bit confusing at first, but this is also because every data tool names things differently, so this is also more of an industry-wide issue as opposed to an Estuary-specific. Reading through the documentation a couple of time will generally orient you well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's so easy to set up connectors to any of my applications and databases and replicate that data in real-time. Not only that, but I only need one connector per source but can send that source to multiple destinations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the documentation can be a bit hard to follow for more complex connectors, but can typically figure it out within a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For streaming/CDC sources, estuary is a no brainer. Very easy to implement and monitor usage. Costs are reasonable and predictable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI can be a little challenging sometimes, but they are quick to make changes based on feedback. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
