Considered Both Products	Fivetran Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fivetran 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Uddipan Mukherjee Big Data Specialist Chose Fivetran Fivetran is a powerful data replication tool that supported use cases for organization-wide data platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fivetran 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. Incentivized Helpful? Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Chose Fivetran 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Fivetran 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. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Chose Fivetran 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. Incentivized Helpful?	PhantomBuster Carlos Fernando Morales Sr Manager of Opportunity Generation Chose PhantomBuster Scraping is hard, it's very difficult to learn and get right, at least it is for me. Parsehub did not make things easy, I felt I wasn't getting anywhere. Octoparse on the other hand was very different. Your technical literacy is pretty good and it's not impossible as it feels … Incentivized Helpful? CH Camilo Honorato Marketing Analyst Chose PhantomBuster I don't really have the opportunity to test another Data Extraction tool like Phantombuster. When I started my job they already have bought this tool so I learned how to use it and honestly I do not have any need to change it. I think Phantombuster is the best for this Incentivized Helpful?

User Testimonials
	Fivetran	PhantomBuster
Likelihood to Recommend	[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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It is very useful for data extraction from different sources and automation like Linkedin invitation My databases would not have the quality they have right now if I did not use Phantombuster It is not very useful for Mails Extractions, Phantombuster extraction tools does not give you goods mailing format Incentivized Camilo Honorato Marketing Analyst Read full review
Pros	Simplified ETL from a wide range of data sources Stable and painless data pipeline Granular control over what parts of the data source are loaded Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Easy to use Great templates Very smart interface Incentivized Carlos Fernando Morales Sr Manager of Opportunity Generation Read full review
Cons	Doesn't include support for a Kinesis stream as a data source so couldn't be used for some use cases under consideration Doesn't support the use of "BEFORE DELETE" triggers No support for serverless Aurora Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Mailing Extractor Excel connection Video tutorial of features Incentivized Camilo Honorato Marketing Analyst Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	No answers on this topic	First of all, PhantomBuster comes at a very low price point for us. We're more than happy to keep paying it just based on that. Price is not the only motivator alone though. PhantomBuster makes pulling the information you need very easy. Myself and my team require little support to run this tool and we also appreciate efficiency. Incentivized Carlos Fernando Morales Sr Manager of Opportunity Generation Read full review
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. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Performance	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. Incentivized Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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.
