Hevo Data Reviews & Product Details

Hevo lets us delegate a big part of the data engineering work to the tool. This frees up time for our data engineers, who can focus on other tasks instead. On top of that, the customer support is very good and genuinely helpful whenever we need them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unlike other tools such as Fivetran, Hevo doesn't offer ready-made dbt packages for very popular data sources like ad reporting platforms, Stripe or Adyen. This means we have to build and maintain those transformation models ourselves, which takes back some of the time the tool saves us on ingestion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The source that it can pull data from is extensive as are the destinations. Easy to use. And it's at the right price point. We looked at solutions that were considerably more expensive and were more complex to use. This gets the job done. Their Customer Support is top notch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not a whole lot. Earlier on maybe the fact that they didn't have as many sources but they keep adding more. They just added Amazon Seller Central which has been a game changer for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Hevo Data is how quickly and easily I can set up reliable data pipelines without writing any code. The interface feels clean and intuitive, and most connectors work right out of the box with very little configuration needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main drawback I’ve noticed is that pricing can get expensive as data volume increases, especially with event-based pricing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The UI setup is easy. There are plenty of integrations for existing, well-known platforms, which makes it simple to connect what I already use. Support has also been really good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some functionalities aren’t working as expected. There are fewer customization options than I’d like, and the models time out quite often. Also, when I run something, I don’t have much control to cancel it or to see the progress in real time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like Hevo Data's good customer support, which is available any time and was particularly helpful since Hevo was new to us. The guidance from the Hevo team made the initial setup very easy. I also appreciate the feature that allows us to try out our own coding in the background for pipelines. Overall, I find Hevo Data to be a good tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When there are new accounts created in Twilio, even though these accounts appear in the account table structure, the pipeline for each account needs to be added manually. This is because of a secret key issue in Twilio. I think there should be a way in the background to improve the code to make it dynamic. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pipelines are very easy to set up and configure, and we have many platforms available right from the start. Ad platforms like Google Ads and Meta can be a pain to maintain, so with Hevo we can rely on their continuous support instead. Speaking of support, we’ve had only great experiences—not just with chat support, but also with second- and third-level support.

Performance is great and usually reflects the data freshness provided by the connected platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pricing is okay overall, but on-demand events can be costly, and depending on your workload, it can get expensive. That said, depending on the platforms you have connected, it still feels very much worth it when you compare the cost of manually maintaining API connectors versus just using Hevo.

Hevo has been really helpful in streamlining the process of creating data pipelines to the point that developers can easily stand up their own replication pipelines for their services without additional intervention needed from data engineers.

There's a wide variety of supported data sources and destinations like RDS and Snowflake which is what we use in our tech stack. Setup is really simple and live chat support is very responsive in the rare instances where further assistance is needed. We have all kinds of different use cases that are surprisingly supported, such as even a Google drive spreadsheet which enables data needs from even non-technical teammates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think the simplicity comes at a cost of flexibility in terms of certain options that leave a bit to be desired. For example, API-based polling options are quite rigid when one expects that to be a little more free-form given the open-endedness of supporting a vague set of requirements there.

Another poor experience is if things really are not going well an often suggested solution is to run a whole new historical load which can take a very long time to resolve for large data sets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hevo has tons of available integrations and connectors out of the box and does a pretty good job with REST API connectors. It is also by far the cheapest on the market, especially for small and medium businesses. It's generally easy to use and navigate, although a recent change did degrade this experience, the destination no longer has our custom names, it is just the name of the connector. I'm sure this is something that will change as feedback comes through. It does perform consistently and rarely errors on its own and does send good alerts when users or external platforms cause errors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Support is a bit lacking, especially now that there is an AI layer. Internally we kind of use their support as a rubber duck to talk through the problem but usually have to solve problems ourselves. They have decent docs so this is not a big problem. The other thing that could use improvement is the python-based transformation layer, they've told us the way they execute doesn't allow us to get good error messages.

I really appreciate the customer service from Hevo Data. Setting up the pipeline is really easy, which makes the process straightforward. Whenever there's trouble, the customer service is there to help. Hevo Data is also smart enough to replicate complex nested data structures from MongoDB in a good way to BigQuery. The initial setup process is quite simple because you just need to whitelist Hevo Data on your side, input credentials, and specify what to replicate and how often, and then Hevo Data handles the rest. It's really well made. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I can't identify something which could be better at Hevo Data, to be honest. Maybe a clearer billing. Also, maybe better orchestration possibilities, especially with DBT, but I heard they are working on it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Experienced a powerful automated pipeline that offers flexible object selection, effectively cutting costs.

Enjoy a user-friendly interface paired with quick and reliable support to enhance your productivity.

Integrations are simple and easy to identify the required objects and pipeline.

I can monitor the performance without lag. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A video tutorial would be helpful for any new user rather than reading documents.

Also, if Hevo could ingest a materialized view to BigQuery, it would be helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
