"Ideal for New Business Users"
4.5/5

The low-code interface and automated processes make it easy for new business users in the business to set up and manage data pipelines without extensive technical knowledge. It automates the whole data extraction, cleaning, and transformation process which saves time and reduces manual effort. The customisable sync schedules lets us pull in data as per our requirements.

This is more of a niche request, but working on the sports industry there aren't as many connectors that support the tools we are used to using in the Sports Industry (Fortress, Tickets.com, TM, etc) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Census is an absolute game changer"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Census offers a highly efficient, low-maintenance platform for loading business-critical data into third-party systems. Previously, we relied on custom integrations that demanded significant maintenance and ongoing management to ensure performance and efficiency. With the Census platform, this burden is completely eliminated, allowing us to concentrate on the data itself rather than the upkeep of data pipelines and complex integrations. Impressively, our first data sync took only minutes to implement, a process that would typically require hours or even days with the assistance of a data engineer. Additionally, their support team is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, ensuring any issues or questions are promptly and effectively addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

I have yet found any issues working with the Census platform or their team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

I haven't yet come across anything I dislike. Everything I've wanted to achieve with Census, I've been able to do so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Data Integration with Fivetran"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Our team saved a lot of time using Fivetran. We were able accelerate adoption because of its user-friendly interface and step by step guidelines to set up connectors. We were able to connect 30+ data sources and not have to worry about schema drifts and other data engineering tasks. Also, we used Fivetran’s sdk to build custom connectors for complex integration. Customer support helped us a lot when we encountered issues. They would reply within 12 hours and offer detail feedback which helped us resolve issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

The main concern we have with Fivetran is the pricing model. It can increase rapidly as they volume of the data increases and also the compute costs will increase when the sync frequency increases. Fivetran gives a 2-week free trial to estimate costs before you turn on the connector, but it is hard to get an additional budget mid fiscal year. Also, you will need to use Fivetran with another tool like dbt to handle complex transformations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
