I like Fivetran for its effectiveness at change data capture and the HVR agent has been very valuable in quietly harvesting the data. It gathers data while putting zero load on the source database, which is really beneficial for loading near real-time data into our enterprise data platform on Snowflake.

What I like most about Fivetran is how easy it is to use and how little maintenance it needs. The UI is straightforward, and setting up integrations with tools like Salesforce and Marketo is pretty simple. The syncs are generally reliable and perform well, even with large amounts of data. It saves our team a lot of time compared with building and maintaining pipelines ourselves, so the ROI is clear. The documentation and support have also been helpful whenever we run into an issue. I haven’t used many of the AI features yet, but the automated schema handling and monitoring already reduce a lot of manual work.

Fivetran made it easy to connect all of our ad accounts to our warehouse while not consuming all of the bandwidth of our data engineering team. There by row pricing makes it easy to add new test channels and include them in internal dashboards.
