Estuary Reviews & Product Details

Estuary eliminates the need to stand up and maintain costly infrastructure, like kafka topics and data pipelines. It's replication from any source to cloud data warehouses made simple and very cost effective.

Implementation and integration is also dead easy!

Lastly, their customer support teams are very responsive and resolve issues immediately. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI needs a little polishing but that will come with time. It's lacking in data observability and pipeline observability features, but those are also coming and luckily the service is very reliable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Ease of use. even though i didn't really have much experience with data pipelines i was able to get things running and have not had any major issues. Easy to use, Also i hardly ever have to come in and adjust things Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pretty happy with what the product is. But if the guys do read this i would love some consistently updated "how to" video content from the team . I feel like theres so much more i could be doing but since i usually struggle to find any online content i let things be . Even if they had some course available because i believe that the beauty of this product is that it has a low barrier to entry which means lots of non-data people will use it . So will be great to have some quality training material Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We’ve been using Estuary Flow for 9 months now, and our experience has been consistently excellent. We were up and running in just minutes, syncing CloudSQL for Postgres with MotherDuck effortlessly. The ease of integration was remarkable — no roadblocks, no complexity. What stands out even more is the super-prompt, customer-centric support team, who consistently go above and beyond to ensure success. Their responsiveness makes all the difference, and it’s clear that they care deeply about us succeeding with their great product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, really. Minor glitches experienced in the first days (while testing our integration) were resolved promptly. We have experienced zero issues since. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For initial and basic setup, Estuary offers a fast and cost-effective way to integrate major data sources. I was able to connect my MongoDB to Snowflake for analytics purposes within just a few hours, which is something I haven't seen any other tool accomplish. I switched from Fivetran to Estuary to achieve lower latency and to significantly reduce my expenses for both Fivetran and Snowflake.

After more than a year, I am using more data sources and destinations on daily basis. In this period, error messages in the UI have become more helpful (yet still are not perfect) when debugging connections to a new data source.

The founder, David, is very hands-on and has been extremely helpful, taking the time to explain configuration quirks and respond to feature requests on several occasions. The Slack channel serves as the main and efficient way to get support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setting up the tool does demand a certain amount of data engineering work. While this is likely true for any platform aimed at achieving a solid level of data governance, I found the process of de-nesting JSON using slashes in variable names, as well as removing or renaming variables via the CLI, to be conceptually challenging-especially during my migration from Fivetran.

The biggest thing for me is that I can set up a replication job pretty quickly and not have to rebuild it every time something upstream changes. Lots of tools break when schemas drift, or when the source throws something weird, but Estuary handles most of that better than I expected, relative to other tools I've used for the same task before. I mainly use it to move operational data into my warehouse and it saves time since I don’t have to write the ingestion logic myself. The UI is simple enough that I don’t get lost trying to remember where things are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When something does fail, I don’t always get enough detail or logs to actually understand what's happening. I end up guessing until I narrow it down. The logs feel a little too abstracted for me, who wants more visibility into what the connector is doing. Also, some connectors feel more stable than others, so I’ve had a few situations where I had to restart a job for no clear reason. It works great, but as with anything, it’s not perfect, and sometimes the troubleshooting takes longer than I'd like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Implementing and using this platform has been very straightforward. The step-by-step guides make it easy to set up new sources and destinations. We began with only a few sources and destinations, but as our company grow, so did our reliance on Estuary. Estuary was able to scale to match our company growth.

Our sources and destinations are continuously updated, and Estuary consistently keeps our data freshness within 15 to 30 minutes of the source. The platform has proven to be highly stable. Rarely there is an outage, but when there is it is resolved promptly.

The range of sources and destinations options Estuary provides is impressive, and they are continually adding more.

On several occasions, we encountered issues importing data from our primary vendor's database, always due to the vendor updating their tables in a non-standard way. The Estuary support team found a solution to ensure our data was replicated correctly every time.

I cannot say enough positive things about their support. They are always willing to tackle the problem and come up with a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside I've encountered is when a new option is introduced, its default sometimes doesn't match behavior before the option was added. While not causing issues with the existing tables, it did cause an issue when adding a new table to an existing replication. Even though the new table was added the same as the others, the data wouldn't replicate as it did with the other tables.

Fortunately, the support team was always able to clarify what had happened and guide me on how to adjust the new option to fit our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- It offers support for a wide range of connectors. And if you don't find one you need—as was my case when comparing different EL tools—the team can build it for you. In my case, they implemented it within a couple of months.

- It's reliable—you can trust that what you see on the other end (e.g., your DWH) is accurate and consistent.

- The team's support is top-notch. Honestly, nothing compares to what you get with them. They're close, proactive, and genuinely invested in making things work for you. Truly a terrific experience!

- The pricing is transparent and feels fair, especially when you weigh the value you get against other competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

- At first glance, it can look like a slightly more complex tool—and it may be, especially for someone with a purely business background. But that's only because it's built to give you more flexibility and options. Once you understand the concepts and configurations, you can actually leverage them to improve your data flows.

The UI/UX is seamless with plenty of free integrations to popular SaaS and PaaS tools and datalakes and datawarehouses. You pay for the volume of data you move, hence yielding a high ROI. Estuary has both cloud and on-prem capabilities, making it an extremely agile platform. On top of that, it is easy to deploy.

We use it daily and periodically to synch sources to lakehouse. Before Estuary we were using a popular integration tool, and we managed to save 10x of our bill for 1 of the source integrations. The CTO helped us cost the data flow, helping to convince our management to make the switch. It has also been highly reliable.

Slack channel provides community and Founder/CTO support, so the team listens closely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Troubleshooting errors when integrations fail. Observability of the data streams could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The speed of implementation. It takes a matter of minutes to set up a pipeline from source to destination. The also have great customer support on Slack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Missing Timescale as a source. Ideally would be able to modify a connector to not be on 24/7 for cases where daily data extracts are required. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like the IU, is friendly and easy to understand, also the real-time works as intended, and the best part is the support they have, they respond super fast in the Slack channel and they are always willing to help. To set up a new connector is pretty easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Its not a dislike but I may need a few connectors that they don't have yet so Im not sure how I will solve that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
