We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Informatica Cloud Data Integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud 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."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"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."
"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."
"Fivetran offers native connectivity with Sybase"
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration is stable."
"The product improves data quality."
"Informatica is good for integrating data and cloud applications. We have connectors for integrating cloud applications like Salesforce. You can quickly integrate anything with an exposed API or a REST API. The industry is increasingly shifting to the cloud, so we need more products that can connect to cloud-based applications. The integration is seamless and works in real time. It's also secure because you don't need to expose databases or tables."
"The data mapping capability is a valuable feature."
"Data synchronization tasks."
"REST API: Excellent for scripting control and reporting mechanisms"
"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."
"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."
"An in-line data quality checking capability is missing"
"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."
"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."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"There may be some types of limitations with the performance."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"Connectivity could be improved, it can be a little slow."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"I would also like to have profiling functionalities and quality transformations in the cloud."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
