What do you like best about Fivetran?

The ability to sync data from dw back to external systems easily and reliably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Not enough connectors and the fields available as the unique key is limited. Sometimes, the system has a few keys that are unique, we should be able to choose one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focus on your data, not how to move it"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Fivetran has provided us with a no code solution to extracting data into our databases and data warehouses, and has hugely simplified our data architecture and improved security. We have been able to easily integrate new systems using their out of the box connectors, allowing us to focus on the data transformation process instead of building out and monitoring the data pipelines, and it has become an integral part of our day to day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Doesn't support all of our systems yet, although the Fivetran team have done excellent work on narrowing this list over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great tool, but with a matching price tag"
4/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

The most useful thing about Fivetran is that it considers a lot of things for us. We use it everyday for ingestion, and it's working very well. It took little time to implement and integrate with our product, and their support has been really nice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

The only downside we face while using Fivetran is the cost. The associated cost is not cheap. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Simple, Easy and Very Useful transformations."
4/5
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.

"A great looking product with a solid support team that is actively being worked on and improved."
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Fivetran looks great and is easy to use. I like that support is very sresponsive and that the engineers and devs are very active in making improvements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

The comapany moves fast and sometimes that causes issues (data issues, downtime on connectors, etc). I would like to see more robust testing and QA before features roll out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Expensive but valuable"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

The simplicity of use and wide-ranging number of "pre-baked" sources. It is very impressive, and the catalogue is always growing. 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.
