Whether its the desktop Form product or server Flow product, FME makes data jobs easier to figure out, QA/QC achievable, and flexible with it's ability to incorporate different tools within a space. Pricing is reasonable for an organization, and the ROI on my day-to-day tasks huge. Support and On-Line training is fantastic and responsive. FME Flow helps with a lot of sustainable data pipelines for various departments in my organization (mid-size airport). Easy to pick up. Lots of different data formats are easily ingestible and writable! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UX can be a little daunting at first, but once you create a bunch of workspaces, it gets easier. FME Form is a server app so finding the correct business process for either scheduling, automations, or server/application app development can be a little tricky to suss out if you don't use it weekly.

FME coming from a SQL background I really like how FME lets me pull data straight from from our database and shape it without having to write down a long queries in every time. I still use SQL when itself needed but FME helps the bridge gap when i need to combine database data with Excel sheets or ATS exports. The workflow view also makes it much easier to show and explain what i am doing in team meetings rather than walking everyone through queries line by line. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A lot of the time it feels quicker for me to write a query than to build the same logic in FME especially when its a smaller tasks. Even so what I really appreciate is being able to pull information from different places and clean it all within one flow in the end that single streamlined process saves a lot of time overall.

FME is one of those tools really shines when things get complicated. I’ve used it to pull together data from GIS systems spreadsheets and APIs and turn it into clean usable output. I also appreciate that FME has comfortable user friendly interface which makes it pleasant to work with day to day. The visual workflow builder lets me map everything out clearly so the process stays easy to follow from start to finish it also integrates well with python when i need extra customization Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It take a of time to really understand how the transfer and workflow behave in practice and i use FME often because it offers a lot of features and integrates well with other systems, which ultimately makes my work smoother and more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We use FME to connect multiple systems that don’t naturally work together primarily GIE tools, SQL databases and cloud apps. Being able to build workflows visually and then reuse those workflows, has made our work far more efficient and just as importance more consistent from run to run. The API integrations, combined with support for scheduled runs, are a real advantage and help keep these processes running smoothly without constant manual attention.

Switching between logs and workflows could be smoother, but the ability to dynamically visualize everything while building a pipeline and to have the production script ready to go without needing any adaptations is fantastic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FME, I’m able to pull data from multiple sources APIs, CSV files and databases and manage the processing all in desktop. Its particularly helpful when I need to build repeatable workflows and the built in tools handle most of the transformations I typically need, so I rarely have to fall back on custom code. Its been a dependable way for me to worl with FME. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FME debugging can feel slow once flows get large. I’ve also noticed that some simple tasks take longer than I’d expect. The scheduled workflows are really helpful and easy tk rely on; they run in the background and generally work without issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I work with JSON, CSV and API data every day, and the FME Platform connecta all of them without extra setup. The transformation tools are reliable, especially when it comes to cleaning data and mapping firlds accurately. I also appreciate how easy it is to automate recurring tasks and being able to resue workflows is a big help whenever similar work comes up again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FME can make it difficult to keep workflows tidy and some take longer to understand than I expert still, once everything is setup, I can manage it easily while it runs in the background. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FME's visual workbench lets us clean and convert messy client lead databases straight into our contact center dialers. It handles complex spatial and database formats automatically without us having to write custom Python scripts for every new e-commerce or telecom campaign. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve for setting up advanced transformers is pretty steep if you don't have a dedicated GIS engineer on staff. Adding extra engine licenses on FME Flow also gets expensive real quick when we need to burst capacity for major client launches. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

FME platform is very useful for ETL tasks which supports more than 450 data formats.

It makes ETL tasks very simple with it's no code platform.

FME executes tasks very fast when compared to scripts developed. The development efforts are also very less.

Server platform allows scheduling of tasks and provides different features for automating execution.

For spatial data related ETL, FME is undoubtedly preferred choice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Using existing objects makes development very simple and reduces efforts. However, in case if existing objects doesn't fit in the flow to solve the purpose, then things get hard. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
