We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors.""Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly.""The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it.""For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well.""The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature.""Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target.""Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication.""There's the general feature of the platform where it just makes it very easy to integrate different things, but I would say a specific difference is their integration of DBT,."

"A pretty good series of connectors is one of the best features of Qlik Replicate.""It enables us to transform data at the latest stage rather than in ETL loads, so it's more ELT which is one of the advantages. It is also in near real-time, which brings significant advantage for our embedded analytics approach.""A valuable feature of Qlik Replicate is that you do not need ETL. It's easy to use—you choose two systems and it automatically replicates them. Even if there is no CDC available, if you insert it and update it, and there is nothing to find out, then you can use Qlik Replicate. It's a good product.""The CDC and the flexibility to use QVD as a source are the most valuable features of Qlik Replicate.""Great with replicating and updating records.""The most useful functions of Qlik Replicate are the data manipulation to transformations.""Qlik Replicate stands out with its cutting-edge technology and its ability to handle diverse data management tasks. This powerful tool allows us to efficiently and swiftly load data into various data stores or destinations, while also enabling easy distribution across different endpoints. A notable feature is its capability to reload data from multiple sources by creating multiple tasks within a brief timeframe of fifteen to twenty minutes. This eliminates the need for manual intervention and ensures quick data loading from different tables.""The most valuable features of Qlik Replicate are its CDC performance and trigger functions. CDC feature is important to the financial industry."

Cons
"The environment must be more development-friendly.""Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs.""The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure.""The connections with SAP must be improved.""The interface needs to be more user-friendly.""I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded.""The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums.""Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."

More Fivetran Cons →

"This product could be improved by providing more insight regarding errors. One of our customers that uses Qlik Replicate has had an issue. We tried to debug it, but we could not trace the error message. The infrastructure site should give us more insight about errors. Qlik Replicate is not a business solution, it's an IT solution. The reporting tools and bug site should be improved.""We would like to see more details in messages about errors with the system.""It would be better if the solution’s pricing were more obvious.""It's not possible to replicate the QVC files in data analytics.""In various scenarios, an important consideration is when we encounter issues and Qlik Replicate suggests reloading a specific table. If we face any problems or encounter errors with that table, it becomes necessary to make a change in Qlik Replicate. Performing a full reload every time is not feasible or practical. Instead, we should identify the specific issues and address them without repeating the entire reloading process. Based on this approach, we can investigate and resolve the problem by performing targeted loads from the source itself. This change aligns with my perspective and is something I would like to implement.""The product should improve its licensing limitation.""Some features can also be overly dependent on each other. So, there is room for improvement.""In the next release, I would like to see closer integration with data catalyst."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
  • "I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."
  • "Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
  • "I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
  • "In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."
  • "I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."
  • "The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
  • "The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."

  • "Qlik Replicate is not expensive, compared to GoldenGate."
  • "Pricing for this solution is very reasonable."
  • "Overall, Qlik is an expensive solution. You need to pay for all additional features that you would like to use."
  • "On a scale from one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive, I rate Qlik Replicate's pricing a nine out of ten."
  • "Unlike Azure, where you pay based on consumption, Qlik Replicate seems to charge per endpoint."
  • "Qlik Replicate is mainly suited for large companies. However, it is too costly for small businesses. Its pricing is high."
