We performed a comparison between Fivetran and SnapLogic 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 solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"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's most valuable feature is replication."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"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."
"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."
"It is a stable solution."
"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."
"It is a scalable solution."
"The feature I found most valuable in SnapLogic is low-code development. Low-code development has been very useful for simple processes, which is required for business users such as extracting details from a file or getting things reported by calling your web service. Calling your web service also becomes easier with SnapLogic because of the snaps available, so if you have the documentation, you can call an API. You don't have to write all those clients to call an API, so that is another feature I found very easy in SnapLogic. Configuring and managing all the file systems also become very handy with the solution."
"They are very good at building out new aspects according to customer requirements."
"The product is easy to use and has many connectivity options."
"An important tool for building prototypes and MVPs than can seamlessly turn into production jobs"
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"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 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."
"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 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."
"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."
"I would like to see more performance-related dashboards, ones that display the cost of a pipeline, for instance. Also, it would be helpful to have management dashboards for overseeing pipelines and connections."
"The solution isn't ideal for complex processing or logic. We use another solution for that."
"It needs some more snaps. I would like to see some of the features be changed in some of the snaps."
"One of the areas for improvement in SnapLogic is that the connectors for some of the applications should be more available in terms of testing in the dev environment. Another area for improvement is that the logging should be standardized, for example, the integration with an ELK stack should be required out-of-the-box, so you can ship the log and have it in the ELK stack. There should be integration with ELK stack for the log shipping."
"I don't think the support has better knowledge about technologies and tool support. There were lots of times when we had an issue, and it took me quite a long time to explain the problem. I feel like some of the support staff don't know their product well."
"There is room for improvement with APM management and how task execution looks."
"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."
"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."
