"Incredibly flexible tool for all your reverse ETL needs"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Every need I have to push data back from my DWH into various tools / locations, Census can do it for me. It allows our business to move at high speed and continue to be fully data focussed and data driven. It's UI/UX is very simple and intuitive so there's no steep learning curve like often is the case with similar tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

I haven't yet come across anything I dislike. Everything I've wanted to achieve with Census, I've been able to do so far. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable Data Integration with Fivetran"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Our team saved a lot of time using Fivetran. We were able accelerate adoption because of its user-friendly interface and step by step guidelines to set up connectors. We were able to connect 30+ data sources and not have to worry about schema drifts and other data engineering tasks. Also, we used Fivetran’s sdk to build custom connectors for complex integration. Customer support helped us a lot when we encountered issues. They would reply within 12 hours and offer detail feedback which helped us resolve issues quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

The main concern we have with Fivetran is the pricing model. It can increase rapidly as they volume of the data increases and also the compute costs will increase when the sync frequency increases. Fivetran gives a 2-week free trial to estimate costs before you turn on the connector, but it is hard to get an additional budget mid fiscal year. Also, you will need to use Fivetran with another tool like dbt to handle complex transformations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ability to sync data from dw back to external systems easily and reliably Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Not enough connectors and the fields available as the unique key is limited. Sometimes, the system has a few keys that are unique, we should be able to choose one of them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Focus on your data, not how to move it"
5/5
What do you like best about Fivetran?

Fivetran has provided us with a no code solution to extracting data into our databases and data warehouses, and has hugely simplified our data architecture and improved security. We have been able to easily integrate new systems using their out of the box connectors, allowing us to focus on the data transformation process instead of building out and monitoring the data pipelines, and it has become an integral part of our day to day operations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Doesn't support all of our systems yet, although the Fivetran team have done excellent work on narrowing this list over the years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
