More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pros →

"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time.""The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues.""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.""Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target.""The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available.""Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors.""The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."

Cons
"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies.""An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."

More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Cons →

"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors.""I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded.""More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals.""The environment must be more development-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.""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 interface needs to be more user-friendly.""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."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
  • More Ab Initio Co>Operating System Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "I don't have the exact information, but I know it is high, and it is on a yearly basis. There is no additional cost for what we're doing. We're always open to doing things cheaper, so we might potentially implement a different solution."
  • "I've heard that the license for HVR is a bit costly compared to its competitors, but since it's reliable and efficient, I think the customer shouldn't be bothered about the cost."
  • "Fivetran is very expensive, and its database-driven pricing model is outdated."
  • "I can't give exact amounts because that's based on usage, but it's more expensive than some of its competitors."
  • "In the first year, we were given a very good discount. It was approximately 20,000 Euros per year. In the third year, we purchased credit for two years and the price was 33,000 Euros per year."
  • "I would say they're a little bit on the expensive side, and their contract process is not particularly good, but there is a lot of potential flexibility."
  • "The pricing model is okay and mid to large companies will not have an issue with it."
  • "The licensing costs are extremely high for the usage of somebody who has one GB or two GB of usage per day for real-time traffic. There are many other players in the market which are similarly priced or competitively priced. On average per month, it used to come around 12,000-15,000 USD, which is very high."
