We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Talend Data Management Platform 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 solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"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,."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"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."
"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 should add more connectors because its competitors, like Airbyte, have more connectors."
"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."
"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 documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
