Fivetran vs. Zoho DataPrep

[Fivetran is] very well suited when you are using popular and common data sources, such as the major ad platforms, and SaaS platforms such as Salesforce. If the majority of your data sources are custom internal applications or databases, may be less value as you aren't leveraging the delivered connectors.

Scenarios where it works well: 1. Preparing reports like CRM, Marketing, and sales for monthly reports. 2. Cleaning CSV files with inconsistent format 3. Removing of duplicates and finding error values 4. Enabling non-technical people to manage data preparation without coding. Scenarios where it is less appropriate: 1. Processing real time data and large scale data needs 2. Deep customization at code level 3. At advanced predictive modeling

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.

I would rate Zoho DataPrep a 10/10 for its usability because I feel it is very easy and intuitive platform and even non-technical people can access it easily without coding knowledge. Also, its workflow builder is very straightforward, once we create any data pipeline then we can reuse it easily.

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.

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 places where Fivetran out-performed, other vendors.

Zoho DataPrep is much easier to use and quick to set up. It user interface is very user friendly, even people with no technical knowledge can use it easily to transform the data. It creates the repeatable workflows easily and more cost-effective for small to mid-size teams. We selected it because it aligns with our business needs and goals perfectly like fast, easy, and efficient for everyday use.

• Saved a lot of manual development days (unable to quantify)
• Accelerated the time to add a new source to the data warehouse a lot
