Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature.""The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time.""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 portal is very intuitive and easy to use.""Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication.""The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure.""The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available.""The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."

"There are a lot of options in Spring Cloud. It's flexible in terms of how we can use it. It's a full infrastructure.""The most valuable features of Spring Cloud Data Flow are the simple programming model, integration, dependency Injection, and ability to do any injection. Additionally, auto-configuration is another important feature because we don't have to configure the database and or set up the boilerplate in the database in every project. The composability is good, we can create small workloads and compose them in any way we like.""The most valuable feature is real-time streaming.""The product is very user-friendly."

Cons
"The environment must be more development-friendly.""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.""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.""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.""I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies.""Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs.""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.""The connections with SAP must be improved."

More Fivetran Cons →

"On the tool's online discussion forums, you may get stuck with an issue, making it an area where improvements are required.""Some of the features, like the monitoring tools, are not very mature and are still evolving.""Spring Cloud Data Flow could improve the user interface. We can drag and drop in the application for the configuration and settings, and deploy it right from the UI, without having to run a CI/CD pipeline. However, that does not work with Kubernetes, it only works when we are working with jars as the Spring Cloud Data Flow applications.""The configurations could be better. Some configurations are a little bit time-consuming in terms of trying to understand using the Spring Cloud documentation."

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."

  • "This is an open-source product that can be used free of charge."
  • "If you want support from Spring Cloud Data Flow there is a fee. The Spring Framework is open-source and this is a free solution."
