We performed a comparison between Fivetran and IBM Cloud Pak for 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 simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"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."
"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."
"Fivetran should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"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."
"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."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"The pricing can be improved."
