"Sampling Data We Love"
What do you like best about Fivetran?

The sampling data helps me prepare Press releases, case studies, data-driven stories, study patterns etc. It gives me insight into cultural shifts happening geographically. When I was working for a sustainability site, Census helped me find information about funding, allocation, and more. It is also a very reliable benchmark source for studies and surveys. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Sometimes data can be outdated. Census data is collected every 5 or 10 years so one might question if the data is even reliable or not. I cannot think of anything that I dislike about Census. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fivetran has been our"
What do you like best about Fivetran?

The best thing about Fivetran is the wide range of connectors with almost every data ingestion service and the ease of use. Automated schema handling and incremental syncs make it particularly strong for scaling ingestion across many systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

We have occasionally seen unexpected full reloads, which can be disruptive for high volume tables. MAR (Monthly Active Rows) pricing also lacks transparency and can quickly escalate for frequently updated datasets. In some cases, the fully managed nature of the platform limits deeper customisation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That I have to pay for it, but the price is reasonable considering the value it provides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless ELT"
What do you like best about Fivetran?

I like that Fivetran requires low maintenance and ensures data integrity and recovery with minimal custom scripting. I appreciate how it abstracts much of the 'EL' work, letting us focus more on delivering solutions. It saves us time from fiddling with extract and load processes, so we can concentrate on solving problems for our stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

More detailed errors and log history would be ideal. Clearer root cause rather than generic error messages would help us debug or triage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"User-Friendly with Vast Connectors, But Needs Better Error Transparency"
What do you like best about Fivetran?

I like Fivetran's easy-to-navigate UI and the variety of connectors it offers. It's easy to manage a bunch of different connectors and data sources all in one place. I also appreciate that Fivetran provides an easy low-code ETL solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Fivetran?

Sometimes we get obscure or silent failures that require reaching out to Fivetran support. It's hard to tell which side the error is coming from (Fivetran or the system it's syncing from). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing major as of now. I’ve just noticed that a few niche tools aren’t available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
