We performed a comparison between Fivetran and FME based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."SysTrack load is the best feature."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"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."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources."
"The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process."
"All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable."
"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis."
"We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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."
"We use a separate tool for "reverse ETL", which is the opposite of what Fivetran does; it pushes data from your data warehouse back out to business applications. If Fivetran pulls data from those same applications, they should also enable users to push it back. I would love to do both ETL and reverse ETL in the same tool."
"This solution needs to improve its real-time data and transformation availability."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"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."
"FME's price needs improvement for the African market."
"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point."
"Improvements could be made to mapping presentations."
"To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues."
"FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions."
