We performed a comparison between Fivetran and TIBCO Spotfire 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 compare feature is the most valuable piece of it."
"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."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"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."
"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 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."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"R and automation services."
"The ability to create a real-time data mark, using just one piece of software, is the best feature of this product."
"It's scalable."
"It allows users to quickly analyze data from a variety of sources and visualize it with powerful, interactive graphs, and charts."
"The most valuable features of TIBCO Spotfire are visualization. It's very nice, clear, and, flexible. You can analyze many data types and the user interface is very good."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
"We used it pretty heavily in gathering data, which goes to our VPs. They are able to base their next revenue planning based on this metric. So, it has been invaluable."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"More connectors are needed for exotic, popular, and rising star portals."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"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 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."
"The data compression has room for improvement."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
"The initial setup of TIBCO Spotfire is in the middle range of difficulty. The initial setup of Power BI is easier."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"The design of the UI could be improved."
"The initial setup is complicated and needs experience and knowledge."
"Compared to competitors, the UI is quite dated."
