Best tool for extracting and loading data into data warehouses
What do you like best about the product?
Fivetran gives new users sufficient time to trial the product. There is a very thorough collection of built connectors, with option to request new ones. The documentation is one of the best I have seen. And, the team was very responsive and easy to do business with. I was notified by email of all errors and downtimes.
What do you dislike about the product?
A tool this good does come with a price tag. It is certainly not cheap. The pricing model is based on MAR, which is a different concept to wrap your head around with, but not too difficult to make sense.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Fivetran to solve the data silo and reporting silo problems. With minimal effort, we were able to make data from multiple sources available in our selected destinations, ready for transformation. It's also a great relief to know that Fivetran does minimal necessary transformation with the data.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is the best fit for our use case, based on engineering capacity, budget, usage and etc. It is important to understand the pricing model before you sign the contract. Contact your Fivetran rep and ask as many questions as you need. From my experience, they are very responsive and helpful.
Fivetran great for QuickBooks Online data!
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to get started and also offers the ability to connect with custom API scripts.
What do you dislike about the product?
Only wish there were more native connectors for low-code apps like Airtable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using it to push QuickBooks Online data to a Google BigQuery data warehouse because you actually can't export all the QBO data there is with the CSV exports they expose in the web application. Because we're able to move QBO data into a data warehouse, we're now able to do incredible business intelligence platform visualizations.
Easy to use, very well documented data transferring solution
What do you like best about the product?
For their specific functionality, the documentation is excellent. Once the setup is completed, it simply works.

So far, I haven't had any issues. Our only concern was about sending our data through a third party, but their security standards seemed ok

Modern way to do ELT!
What do you like best about the product?
Very easy connectivity to cloud systems!
What do you dislike about the product?
Better overall reporting of all ELT jobs
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
There is no need for Integration engineers to do APIs between our many cloud systems.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you have many cloud databases to connect the FiveTran tool is amazing. Setup connections in under 30 minutes and start ingesting data. In the old days this took a month and a team!! This tool has made my small BI team really look great as we can ingest new data and get it into Looker FAST and accurately!
Fivetran has multiple integrations that saved our team ton of time
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to control the synchronization updates.
What do you dislike about the product?
Admin UI is a bit too simple. Fivetran is missing a more complex permissions system.

Pulling data from FB and google analytics. Fivetran allows you to reduce the cost of ETL maintance.
VFM ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Credit based system, instead of fixed monthly charges in major advantage. On successive sync, they charge only for delta, that is a huge plus, considering successive sync have less data as compared to first sync.
Other thing, they have a variety of connectors to fetch data from different sources.

What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there were issues with connector data fetching
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We were trying to build eCommerce specific data analytics system. Instead of building our connectors and data pipeline. Fivetran offered that complex part to build our MVP, we can focus on the analytics part only.
Makes my job easy

We don't need to spend our resources writing ETL pipelines
Fivetran does what it needs to do - extract and load data periodically - without much work
What do you like best about the product?
The onboarding was super quick. The UI is intuitive. The documentation is simple and accessible.
There is a wide variety of connectors. And for internal APIs or obscure SaaS apps, you can always write a custom connector through Cloud Functions hosted on AWS, GCP, or Azure.
Staff support has always been prompt.

It can be pricey. The pricing structure around MARs can be challenging to comprehend.

We have automated the loading of data from various data sources into our warehouse daily and reliably. This lets us focus on building models instead of on having to build systems to extract data.
Fivetran Review
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of creating automated pipelines and the ability to integrate external data easily
What do you dislike about the product?
Unavailability of Google Drive as a data source
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate and save time on ETL/ELT, looked into database replication as well
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Fivetran is revolutionizing the ETL/ELT space. I look upon it as a gamechanger when it comes to the modern data stack.
Fivetran is very user friendly and efficient to use
What do you like best about the product?
I like how Fivetran is user-friendly and easy to use. The learning curve is very minimal, and it gets the job done well. The process of loading data into my pipelines is very straightforward. It also allows non-technical stakeholders to load data just as fast.
What do you dislike about the product?
I'm not too fond of choosing a new name for a google sheet despite deleting a previous sheet with the desired name.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Some problems that I'm solving with Fivetran include automating data upload for manual updates to tables. Fivetran has made it extremely easy for non-technical stakeholders to manage their own data tables. Fivetran's capabilities have saved my team and me a lot of time and effort by not creating new ETL pipelines for small tasks.
