We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Palantir Foundry 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."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."
"You can manage all of your connectors individually, which gives you a very good ability to trace which one of your ETL processes is running and when."
"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."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"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 product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"It's scalable."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"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 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."
"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 would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
