We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The ease of usability is the most valuable feature. It's very easy and quick to set up. It also has a central hub as opposed to GoldenGate which is one direct interface. For GoldenGate I would have needed three interfaces whereas with HVR I have a central interface that manages everything."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"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,."
"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."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"We have a lot of integrations, and it's very easy to create integrations. They have a lot of connectors."
"It is quite easy to use and flexible."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"It is a scalable solution. Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The user interface which is very easy to use if we have any problems to solve."
"The solution's initial setup is quite straightforward."
"The most valuable feature of Informatica Cloud Data Integration is Pushback. You are able to push the data to the solution itself, and it can handle the queries. It helps us a lot. With other tools, the burden is kept on the server."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"There are a small number of UI bugs that occur on occasion."
"Certain applications are not being synced with the ION."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
