More Dell SRDF (Symmetrix Remote Data Facility ) [EOL] Pros →
"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,."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"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 main pain point that we experienced is during device creation. For every newly provisioned volume, creating replication relationships between production and DR site, creating snapshots for third copy at DR site, and configuring them in appropriate replication groups and device groups means that there are lot of steps involved and a lot of room for error. There has to be a lot of checks and balances which need to be incorporated to make sure that the solution is set up correctly."
"If you are new to the product, the initial setup might be a bit difficult."

"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 solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
