Fivetran Reviews & Product Details

We switched to Fivetran in order to stop maintaining our own ad-hoc connectors, which was brittle and time consuming. Fivetran definitely helps with hiding the complexities of connectors, retries, mapping of fields, etc. It makes it painless to add new connectors, too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For a product aimed at reducing complexity, we still experience regular problems (once or twice a month) with connectors requiring manual intervention. Also, observability is not straightforward: there used to be a log which could be accessed from the UI, which was then moved to a destination that can be queried with SQL; while the latter is more flexible, for quick checking of problems the UI-accessible log was better. Furthermore, the destination-as-log can be impacted by outages, resulting in situations where you are blind to what the actual problem was. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to connect to different systems using low code Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The pricing can get expensive and variable Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The hubspot integration has everything we need. The ui/ux is also understandable and we got all our answers easily from support chat or documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There was some confusion at first on how the fields are propagated for the integration, but we found the answer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like their UI and the variety of available connectors. They’re really easy to set up, even if you have limited technical knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes, their notifications can be a bit brief, specifically when daily data syncs are failing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate the features, such as capturing data based on transaction logs, as well as the ability to take actions on the captured data before integration. Implementation also is based on low-code / no-code approach, you can setup a data pipeline in no time by a simple configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The SaaS/Hybrid component isn’t at the same level as HVR when it comes to features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a reliable piece of infrastructure that I can have faith it is well engineered and supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing often seems unfair. Especially when it comes time for annual renewals, it always feels like we're playing a game where Fivetran is our opponent and is constantly making new rules. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how it transforms data from multiple databases into a single, resolvable, SQL-like dataset, including data coming from NoSQL databases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

By default, it should allow sync intervals of less than 15 minutes and offer more granularity in how data is synced. The current three options (only new columns, new data, etc.) aren’t very helpful. We should also have the ability to periodically run a full data sync. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The sampling data helps me prepare Press releases, case studies, data-driven stories, study patterns etc. It gives me insight into cultural shifts happening geographically. When I was working for a sustainability site, Census helped me find information about funding, allocation, and more. It is also a very reliable benchmark source for studies and surveys.

Sometimes data can be outdated. Census data is collected every 5 or 10 years so one might question if the data is even reliable or not. I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Census. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It was easy to set up and get up and running quickly for integrations. Support was also great, especially when we ran into performance issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s expensive, and the pricing became confusing after the merger with Census. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The platform is easy to use, and the leadership is supportive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Requesting new connectors, or asking to add new endpoints to existing connectors, took a long time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
