Considered Both Products	Fivetran Verified User Professional Chose Fivetran Matillion requires a lot more initial setup effort and the resulting schemas are also much more "raw" data than the nicely cleaned schemas which Fivetran provides. Therefore it would also require more (manual) post-processing efforts compared to Fivetran. So the savings on time … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Director Chose Fivetran Fivetran is much easier to set up and maintain. Airbyte still had a degree of technical knowledge requirement that we didn't have the resources to commit. Fivetran allowed a non-technical employee to establish pipelines and immediately start using the data without having to … Incentivized Helpful? Uddipan Mukherjee Big Data Specialist Chose Fivetran Fivetran is a powerful data replication tool that supported use cases for organization-wide data platforms. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Team Lead Chose 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 Helpful? Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Chose Fivetran Fivetran came well with the connectors' availability and updates with the source changes. We had an idea on data requirements in our case which helped us to work out on cost implication and take a decision for Fivetran as a data provider for our organization. These were 2 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Engineer Chose Fivetran Fivetran is more intuitive and easier to use than code-based ETL/ELT tools. The data modelling Fivetran performs makes the data more usable more quickly. Fivetran's dbt support and integration is unique. Incentivized Helpful? Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Chose Fivetran Honestly, we haven't done much investigation in a while, it just works 360 days of the year. The other five days there may be a hiccup that will throw us a day off of data, but it gets caught up in the end. Incentivized Helpful?

Likelihood to Recommend	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
Pros	Fivetran Easily connects to source data using delivered connectors Transforms data into standard models and schemas Has very good documentation to help quickly setup connectors Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	Fivetran Very difficult to get connectors enhanced if a specific needed object is not supported by them Depending on the edition needed and the data volumes, can get quite expensive Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Fivetran Very easy and intuitive to setup and maintain as there usually are not that many options. Very well documented (e.g. how to setup each connector, how the schema looks like, any specific features of this connector etc.). Also the operation is intuitive, e.g. you have status pages, log pages, configuration pages etc. for each connector. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	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
