More Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] Pros →
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"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,."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"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."
"The main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."
More Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] Cons →
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"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."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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."
"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."
