Product Description

Fivetran is an ETL tool, designed to reinvent the simplicity by which data gets into data warehouses.

How do you position yourself against your competitors?

Unlike previous-generation ETL tools, Fivetran does not require any complex setup or exhaustive maintenance. Fivetran competitors are typically orchestration tools that require heavy configuration to get started and offload maintenance tasks to the user. These tools force companies to define ETL logic themselves using a convoluted UI or custom code in uncommonly known languages. When a data source inevitably has an API update or a schema change, causing the pipeline to break, it’s the user’s responsibility to fix it, a costly burden.

Fivetran, on the other hand, turns all of your data sources into normalized schemas that are ready for querying automatically. Fivetran users can expect a simple 5-minute setup and zero-maintenance.

What do you like best about Fivetran?

I love how easy the transformations to get reporting set up is; once created, doing a dbt core job on the data to create reports is very simple with the fivetran ads dbt packages. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Getting the dbt core set up and running within fivetran seems less feature complete than running the dbt core job using your own agent. The error codes in fivetran are sometime not entirely full fleshed out, which can be confusing where the error is actually located. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

The pricing model, specially the new "MARs per connector" pricing model.

We would use it for more sources, specially, event sources, but it is impractical. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Fivetran solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is our primary ingestion method from SaaS providers and 3rd party solutions. The way schema changes are managed is very solid, creates consistency on our approach, and saves engineering time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
