User Testimonials
	Astro by Astronomer	Fivetran
Likelihood to Recommend	Astronomer, Inc. Astronomer is well suited for workflow and dependency management for enterprise-level data lakes. It is not a product for data processing though. Different source systems can be integrated, it also provides powerful interfaces for alerting and monitoring. Easy to build DAGs, graphical UI, API support makes the product more user-friendly as well. Astronomer also does a great job on user training. Incentivized Uddipan Mukherjee Big Data Specialist Read full review	Fivetran Fivetran's business model justifies the use-case where we require data from a single source basically a lot of data but if the requirement is not on the heavier side, Fivetran comes to costly operation when compared to its peers. Otherwise, I'll recommend Fivetran for stability and update and seamless service provider. Incentivized Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Read full review

Performance	Astronomer, Inc. No answers on this topic	Fivetran It runs pretty well and gets our data from point A to point cluster quickly enough. Honestly, it's not something I think about unless it breaks and that's pretty rare. Incentivized Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Astronomer, Inc. Astronomer is a fast, secure, scalable workload management solution. It provides world-class user training along with easy to interact support. Incentivized Uddipan Mukherjee Big Data Specialist Read full review	Fivetran We never seriously considered using anything else. Our data engineers had used Fivetran extensively in previous roles so when it came time to make a decision, there wasn't much of a process. They gladly signed the contract with Fivetran pretty quickly. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
