Business Systems Manager Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Industry Leader for a reason" October 17, 2022 4.0 We use Fivetran for all integration points where connectors are available. Support has been great and billing reasonable. Pros Fivetran has many out-of-the-box connectors to the most frequently used data sources. This has allowed our business to gain quick access to many of the data sources needed. Their customer support has been outstanding for all issues I've had to troubleshoot. They continually work to develop new connectors and integrations with many. Dashboard is user friendly Cons Sync times can cause issues with business processes if you need to start at a particular time multiple times a day. Choices are limited for users and sync times consistently change (i.e every hour does not have the ability to start on the hour but at a fivetran determined start time). Package integrations with DBT seem to have multiple issues, although Fivetran does offer office hours with support staff to assist. Would be nice to see a price breakdown for monthly MAR in addition to just the # of records. Reason for choosing Fivetran Integration with Snowflake and Mozart Review Source MD Miguel D. Data Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "High-end Data Ingestion Tool" August 13, 2024 5.0 Used Fivetran for several projects across different clients. Especially liked the fact that connectors rarely break (unlike other tools in the market). Setting things up was also always effortless. Pros It's so easy to use and quite seamless. Even for less technical profiles. Cons Can become expensive when handling larger amounts of data. Alternatives considered [Stitch](https://www.capterra.com/p/211541/Stitch/) Reason for choosing Fivetran Really depends on the use case. For clients with higher quality standards and less financial concerns, this is probably the best tool in the market.

Review Source NA Niharika A. Senior DevOps Engineer Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fivetran: Set It and Forget It — Mostly" April 6, 2025 5.0 Pros Plug-and-play connectors for most popular data sources. No need to manage infrastructure or schedulers. Handles schema drift and incremental updates gracefully. Sync history, alerts, and logs are easy to follow. Dozens of prebuilt connectors for databases, SaaS apps, and warehouses. Cons Pricing based on monthly active rows (MAR) can grow quickly. Not a full ETL tool — relies heavily on dbt for Tranformation. Minimal visibility into what’s happening behind the scenes. Less flexibility when a native connector doesn’t exist. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Operations Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best tool on the market." October 16, 2024 5.0 Just great. Easy to use, reasonable costs, works great, smooth communication. Pros It is incredibly easy to set up and starting using Fivetran literally from the day one. Cons I literally can't imagine any con about Fivetran. I just wish they offered some data transformation and modelling services. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer BigData Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "If I can use Fivetran, then even you can." February 17, 2023 4.0 So far, I have had a good experience with it without coding involved, eliminates my time in thinking programming logics to build ETL/ELT workflows with the use of automation just makes it easier. Pros A good tool for ETL/ELT pipelines and automatically pushes and loads the data from the data sources to the destinations that saves my time, meanwhile used it to perform some data transformations using SQL and ingested it to Data Warehouses like DBT and Snowflake, also updates automatically if there are changes in the schema which is a good feature. Manually getting data from various sources can be time consuming so this can be the right solution. Cons A optimization tuning when you get data from sources through the connectors would be nice as it can lead to heavy usage of data. Building custom connectors is very challenging and tough to accomplish. Would add to say that pricing gets steep as your data processing workloads increase.

March 9, 2023 5.0 Easy to use interface to establish data pipelines. Pros Various data connectors are available in built to get the source data from various applications . The scheduler helps us to trigger the data pipelines at the desired intervals. Cons The connectors are great , but deploying custom python code for unknown Fivetran data sources will help in integrations. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Applications Manager Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Plug n Play integration with any app" December 14, 2017 5.0 Pros Fast setup - setting up connector for any app takes minutes Seamless data sync - Fivetran incremental data sync makes it seemless Convenience - You can pick records or objects from your app that should be synced. Plethora of ready made app connector available Option to import excel data. Great customer support Cons Currently, Fivetran offers only one direction data sync. Having both directional sync would be awesome. Review Source Eddy H. Customer Service Representative Business Supplies and Equipment Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Helpful and Easy tool to use!" February 7, 2019 5.0 Pros Fantastic software easy to use and best of all not expensive. Helps you simplify what usually becomes complicated. Now I manage ETLs without having to write or keep the code. Cons For the meantime, Five Trans only offers one direction data sync. It would be phenomenal if it would offer a two way directional sync. However for the price, it is a great acquisition. Review Source Uddipan M. Senior Data Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fivetran - user friendly, Configuration driven big data ingestion" November 12, 2020 4.0 It ensures a smooth big data ingestion experience and less time to market. As this is mostly configuration driven, custom coding for ingestion is not required. Pros Fivetran is easy to use data ingestion software, you just need to configure source and destination connections and ready to go. It automatically tracks changes, hence makes the ingested data automatically backward compatible Cons The price point is a bit on the higher side Review Source RM Rafael M. Lead Alternative Medicine Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Fivetran has stepped down its game" October 24, 2024 1.0 Pros Was comprehensive and integrates with a lot of sources Cons Support is terrible, you don't get the value you want Review Source DA David A. Chief Data Officer Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "ELT with Fivetran and built-in support for dbt" February 7, 2022 5.0 Overall, I consider Fivetran to be a leader in the space. I haven't been exposed to competing offerings that come close to the stability and feature richness of Fivetran. Pros 1\. Hands-off, low code ELT data operations platform that meets expectations of ultra-small start-ups as well as large established enterprises. 2. Integrates extremely well with Snowflake and PostgreSQL data warehouse destinations 3. Provides (experimental at the time of writing ) support for Fishtown Analytics dbt through a completely seamless integration requiring absolutely minimal configuration 4. Integrates extremely well with PostgreSQL upstream data sources, specifically those hosted on Salesforce, AWS and GCP clouds, where write-ahead logs are not made available by the cloud providers. Cons 1\. SDK for development of custom connectors and a choice of execution methodology (e.g. package, deploy and execute on customer-supplied IaaS) Alternatives considered [Stitch](https://www.capterra.com/p/211541/Stitch/) Review Source AG Andrew G. Senior Operations & Analytics Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to set up and even easier to manage multiple integrations across multiple systems." November 1, 2017 5.0 This software has allowed me to manage a vast majority of my major ETL integrations without actually having to write or maintain any code. This has been greatly beneficial for my time as I'm not able to devote more focus on other, more value-added tasks for the company. I'm currently only a team of 1 and the time that Fivetran saves is immeasurable. It just is a high quality product that does exactly what it says it does and does it reliably. Pros Very easy set up. Troubleshooting is made simple when there are problems. The downtime has been minimal and appears to be getting better as they improve the product. Fivetran is also great value in terms of the service provided and overall cost. When I've had issues, their tech support has been quick to respond and helpful. Cons Occasional delays do occur and there's sometimes no real good explanation for it. Most of the time I just assume that there is something wrong with the service Fivetran is trying to pull from but there isn't much detail on it/ estimates on when a delayed connection might catch up. Other than that, there's no way to make connections to services that aren't pre-built which is understandable but that should get better over time as Fivetran adds new connectors.

May 23, 2018 4.0 High-frequency ETL's to our data warehouse with an extremely simple setup and great support team. It helped us build our data warehouse with a complex setup in no time. Pros Ease of use and high quality of the data source connectors. Every connector supports a very high replication granularity (down to 5min and planned to go down to 1min), plus some connectors have specialized features, such as logical replication with the Postgres connector (which is a killer feature for real-time, low overhead, consistent replication). Cons It would be great to have more detailed logging, when there is an issue it is some times hard to diagnose the cause without contacting support. Likewise, it would be great to be able to configure the query batch size (which by default is 10M rows), or to automatically adjust that based on the table size (GiB and row count), because right now if you have a table with ~10M rows but very large size, it can stall the historical sync process or require extremely large statement timeout settings. Review Source OL Ola L. Cloud Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good product for for doing ELT" October 16, 2022 5.0 Overall good except for costs. We moved from Five tran to Hevodata for economic reasons. Pros The setup is super easy. You can be up and running in 10 minutes. Easy auto test integrations. Well built administrator. Good customer support. Cons Cost. It can be quite costly if you sync a lot of data.

Pros Fivetran is incredibly easy to set up and likely has the best no-code ETL there is Cons It's incredibly expensive for what they offer and they are inflexible with contracts and credit purchasing Alternatives considered [Hevo](https://www.capterra.com/p/176435/Hevo/)[Google Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/268690/Google-Cloud-Platform/)[Stitch Labs](https://www.capterra.com/p/139349/Stitch-Labs/) Reason for choosing Fivetran Ease of setup Review Source MG Marta G. Head of Data Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great tool to create & maintain your DataLake easily" September 5, 2022 5.0 Pros The easy to use and how quick you can sync new data Cons Nothing, just to write something here, we would say that we missed the integration to the Huawei store. Review Source NS Nicolas S. Finance Director Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "NetSuite Connector" August 28, 2023 5.0 I was able to connect FiveTran with NetSuite within NetSuite as I had use the same methodology for other applications. Pros The integration with NetSuite was very easy/standard. Cons FiveTran did not provide with a guide to setup NetSuite connector Review Source WC Wilson C. Business Intelligence Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fivetran's service is efficient and extremely satisfactory " November 1, 2017 5.0 Efficiency on creating data streams from all our 3rd party programs, this helps us retrieve our data much quicker and be able to spend less engineering time. Pros 1\. The ease of the interface and how it can be easily used by any user without any technical background. 2. The amazing customer service is one of the major things that I always point to when I think about fivetran's service. Any troubleshooting emails or questions that we may have are always answered at an extremely attentive team, whether it is a question to our AM or a technical issue that might even be picked up by one of the founders. In addition, any need for a new integration that we request is often considered and then eventually built in. 3. The time it saves by having a common integration ready to go is extremely helpful. Instead of having to require an engineer to build the connection, we are able to leverage fivetran for our data streaming needs. Cons There isn't anything in general I don't like about Fivetran in all honesty. I think generally the only con I would mention is that there are some features that could be improved such as improving visibility into what is happening after we do an integration such as logs of files uploaded, exact upload to column name references and allowing a little more flexibility on some of the newer integrations.

Get all your SaaS data synced to your warehouse with out writing code or API or ETLs....Brilliant! Cons Like any start up, they have little quality issue .... but nothing material for the price you pay. Review Source NS Nathan S. Senior Analytics Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great product with a helpful team." November 2, 2017 5.0 Pros Easy to use, works perfectly. Does exactly what we want it to do with minimum overhead and clear documentation Cons Nothing really, a few long-term roadmap features that I am looking forward to but nothing holding us back at the moment. Review Source SL Sean L. Business Analyst Consumer Goods Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fivetran's integrations have enabled us to access our data very cheaply and very easily." October 31, 2017 5.0 Pros Fivetran's software is easy to use, is very cheap and simplifies what would usually be difficult and time-consuming processes. Cons There aren't really any downsides to the software. Perhaps they could have more integrations with other common cloud-based software, but I know these are on the way.

Pros Fivetran is an amazing tool for data warehousing and is really straight forward to setup. We were able to get it implemented in just a few hours of work. Cons This is not the cheapest product out there but it is the most featured rich of ETL services out there. Review Source AJ Afzal J.
