User Testimonials
	Fivetran	SAP Replication Server
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	SAP I asked questions about a warm standby and multicast replication. We ended up using bi-directional replication and a warm standby db. Having 3 or more live OLTP DB's where each was read-write was going to be difficult to manage for contention if the same table was being updated. We stuck with an easier solution to have only two OLTP's, and then used additional DB's as read-only DW's. Incentivized Bruce Speidel Senior Staff Engineer 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	SAP guaranteed delivery high availability scalable low latency data transformation Incentivized Gene Baker Vice President, Chief Architect, Development Manager and Software Engineer Read full review
Cons	Fivetran More detailed logging More flexible choices for time range over which records are synced More options for masking and excluding sensitive data Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SAP Data Reconciliation Functionality.

Incentivized Gene Baker Vice President, Chief Architect, Development Manager and Software Engineer Read full review
Alternatives Considered	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	SAP Hands down Sybase has the best replication Incentivized Bruce Speidel Senior Staff Engineer Read full review
Return on Investment	Fivetran Development cost have reduced for each connector The pay-per-use model is still not out their which requires lot of overhead cost Incentivized Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Read full review	SAP A positive is that it allow quick business decision making on the basis of real time data.
