I use Fivetran as an integration tool at my tech consulting firm and I'm a fan of its fast implementation processes. I like the product's ability to detect schema changes with minimal extra work, which is crucial when dealing with large amounts of data. The implementation of pipelines in Fivetran feels faster compared to other competitors. I also value the monitoring and alerting features because with multiple pipelines in place, it's important to audit which tables are being loaded or failed. The initial setup was very easy, and training employees new to Fivetran was much faster than with ADF. Overall, I rate Fivetran a 10 out of 10 for recommending to a friend or colleague.

It's simplicity and ease of use combined with its strong connector and destination db support it makes it really easy to click and go. The free trial period lets you figure out if the connector is worth the price and the estimated mars before going live. Most data extracts are super performant and if there is a schema change the way it easily handles it is a boon. If there's a failure you can rest assured that the support team will handle it for you especially if it has been running successfully and it got impacted due to a change in the source system.

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.
