We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Workato 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 portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"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 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."
"The environment must be more development-friendly."
"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."
"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."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
