What differentiates Fivetran from other similar products?
Fivetran has a wide breadth of connectors for most usecases. Great customer service and DBT integration is a big win.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Easy to use interface, can set up connectors within minutes! Scheduling and monitoring ingestion feeds is very easy.
What do you dislike most about this product?
We had a couple of issues with stability in one of the connectors Lock-in of scheduling within Fivetran. Some companies will have multiple ingestion partners for a variety of reasons, so having a scheduling interface that can allow for easy orchestration of Fivetran that can communicate via API with another ingestion provider, would allow for us to utilise their scheduling features in future!
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
This is a great product, but it comes at a price. If you have highly active rows with high data volumes, you will incur a large bill for moving the data into your data platform
Pros
- Respectful
- Security Protects
- Enables Productivity
- Caring
Cons
- Vendor's Interest First
- Less Generous
- Less Friendly Negotiation

What differentiates Fivetran from other similar products?
The cost model. It's much cheaper and fair since it's calculated on a usage basis whereas other platforms charge a one off free which can be expensive considering the size of the data you're wanting to process.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The integrations and second to none, it will work with almost any SaaS.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The dashboard and management area could be made simpler/nicer to use but it isn't too bad how it is now.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Just go for it. There's no other product on the market that compete's in terms of price and functinality.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Unique Features

Easy to use and set up with low custom pricing!

What differentiates Fivetran from other similar products?
Fivetran has a very hands-on approach to working with their clients that was supportive and benefited my implementation process. Along with this, they provide custom pricing based on my usage so I could keep my costs low while providing clean and organised data to my business.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
My favourite aspect of this product is the ability to breakdown an APIs endpoints and "pick 'n' choose" what I want or don't want to be inserted into my database.
What do you dislike most about this product?
At present, their dbt transformations capabilities. It has great potential and is a fantastic option for anyone that wants to continue transforming their data after it has been loaded. However, it requires a bit of know-how in that specific format and is tricky to debug without having continual support from the business.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
I would recommend building a proper area for the dbt transformations on their platform. With an easy-to-use interface for customising how the data can be transformed and handled inside a database. Still give people the ability to perform the programming themselves but also have a simplified method too, much akin to their customisation options for data loading.
Pros
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Enables Productivity
- Trustworthy
