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.

Considered Both Products
Fivetran
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 …
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 …
Chose Fivetran
Fivetran is a powerful data replication tool that supported use cases for organization-wide data platforms.
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.
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 …
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.
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.
Stitch from Talend
Chose Stitch from Talend
Stitch from Talend is way more cost effective and has a business model that better aligns with our company. From what I can tell Stitch from Talend has a better customer support platform as well and has been very easy to work with when issues have come up. They also seem less …
Chose Stitch from Talend
Stitch is much cheaper and probably simpler than tools like FiveTran. Stitch is for simpler projects and used alongside traditional ETL and writing ones own code into APIs.
FiveTran is more of a overarching tool but also more expensive
Chose Stitch from Talend
Stitch is less flexible than AWS DMS, but it is fully-managed.

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.

Ingestion tools make life easy to ingest new data sources. However, they are single tool in your tool box and treat them as such. They won't do your transformations nor do they (neither should they) have ability to define dependencies. They are built for making your ingestions mindlessly simple.

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.

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.
