We performed a comparison between Fivetran and NetApp SnapMirror based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Replication solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"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 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."
"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,."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure."
"With SnapMirror, the solution is the feature itself that is most valuable. It just replicates the data. It's very difficult to speak about, in the sense that it's similar to the features of a wheel. It is round and it's a part of an automobile."
"They have a very effective dashboard and good reports."
"The most valuable feature is the data replication tool. There is also a lot of ability for data migration."
"NetApp SnapMirror's ease of use and reliability are valuable features."
"The solution is very stable."
"The user interface is very easy to manage. The replication is also very easy to set up."
"The tool seamlessly moves data over the network without putting pressure on the network."
"The performance and stability are valuable features. It seems to fulfill all the requirements."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"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."
"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."
"It should have a few more monitoring functionalities."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"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 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."
"The new coursework models need to be improved. The bandwidth monitoring could also be better."
"The price could be cheaper."
"We have different families of storage, such as the E-Series and Flash systems, but NetApp cannot be set up between them."
"It's necessary to install NetApp simulator to avoid complications."
"At the moment, we are not using the synchronous mirror, but we can implement the synchronous mirror. The only thing is that it needs another license. This is the same issue we have with business continuity. It needs another license to be implemented. You need too many separate licenses for the features. They should add some of the aspects of the premium bundle into the basic bundle. Sometimes our customers choose other replication services because of the initial cost of the licenses."
"The price needs to be improved."
"The user interface could be simplified. They might want to have fewer options on it, to make it less complicated. There are a lot of options we never use ourselves. They're often very specialized and don't apply to us."
"The solution's dashboard and reporting could be improved."
