Fivetran replicates applications, databases, events and files into a high-performance data warehouse, after a five minute setup. The vendor says their standardized cloud pipelines are fully managed and zero-maintenance. The vendor says Fivetran began with a realization: For modern companies using cloud-based software and storage, traditional ETL tools badly underperformed, and the complicated configurations they required often led to project failures. To streamline and accelerate…

Chose Fivetran
Matillion requires a lot more initial setup effort and the resulting schemas are also much more "raw" data than the nicely cleaned schemas which Fivetran provides. Therefore it would also require more (manual) post-processing efforts compared to Fivetran. So the savings on time …

Fivetran is much easier to set up and maintain. Airbyte still had a degree of technical knowledge requirement that we didn't have the resources to commit. Fivetran allowed a non-technical employee to establish pipelines and immediately start using the data without having to …

We never seriously considered using anything else. Our data engineers had used Fivetran extensively in previous roles so when it came time to make a decision, there wasn't much of a process. They gladly signed the contract with Fivetran pretty quickly.

Fivetran came well with the connectors' availability and updates with the source changes.
We had an idea on data requirements in our case which helped us to work out on cost implication and take a decision for Fivetran as a data provider for our organization.
These were 2 …

Fivetran is more intuitive and easier to use than code-based ETL/ELT tools. The data modelling Fivetran performs makes the data more usable more quickly. Fivetran's dbt support and integration is unique.

Honestly, we haven't done much investigation in a while, it just works 360 days of the year. The other five days there may be a hiccup that will throw us a day off of data, but it gets caught up in the end.

I have been using Captain Data for my Digital Agency for quite some time now and genuinely appreciate the product's capabilities. The power of automation it provides has been instrumental in our Lead Generation services. Therefore, it's with disappointment that I write this review.I currently hold an Appsumo Tier3 lifetime plan, which, while it offers a significant 100,000 tasks per month, does not grant me access to the newer features such as the 'LinkedIn Rotation'. When I contacted Captain Data's support for assistance, I was told to 'upgrade' to a different plan which unfortunately feels more like a 'downgrade'.

[Fivetran is] very well suited when you are using popular and common data sources, such as the major ad platforms, and SaaS platforms such as Salesforce. If the majority of your data sources are custom internal applications or databases, may be less value as you aren't leveraging the delivered connectors.

Usability

Very easy and intuitive to setup and maintain as there usually are not that many options. Very well documented (e.g. how to setup each connector, how the schema looks like, any specific features of this connector etc.). Also the operation is intuitive, e.g. you have status pages, log pages, configuration pages etc. for each connector.

It runs pretty well and gets our data from point A to point cluster quickly enough. Honestly, it's not something I think about unless it breaks and that's pretty rare.

Fivetran came well with the connectors' availability and updates with the source changes. We had an idea on data requirements in our case which helped us to work out on cost implication and take a decision for Fivetran as a data provider for our organization. These were 2 places where Fivetran out-performed, other vendors.
