Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"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."
"SysTrack load is the best feature."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"Its arrays are powerful enough to handle migrations even when the replication is happening in the background, without causing any trouble with the ongoing traffic."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"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 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."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."

"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
