The Fivetran features I have found the most valuable are the managed pipelines themselves. It is very valuable for us to be able to set up a connection to a business application and have that pipeline managed by Fivetran and synced to our data warehouse. The Fivetran logs, which allow me to see if there's anything happening in the pipelines that I need to be concerned about or why a connector is not connecting, for example. 

We also use Fivetran data libraries. They have an integration with another tool called DBT, which allows us to run code in DBT that automatically transforms our raw Fivetran data into useful tables and views. Fivetran data library packages have been very useful for us.

It is extremely easy to add a new integration and connect it with a destination in a very short period of time. This is particularly useful for multiple servers or databases.

The portal is very intuitive and easy to use. New users can easily navigate, complete setups, and troubleshoot.

The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature.

Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target. 

The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized. You need to capture the in-source updates and digits from the source; this is the only information you want. You don't want to download the whole thing each time. Fivetran does this just beautifully.

Making the decision to implement Fivetran was supported by the fact that they have better connectors than other competitors. 

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.

It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility. 

The compare feature is the most valuable piece of it.

Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly.

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, being able to have the transformation components be driven by Fivetran.

The product is very easy to use and very easy to configure. We can do an end-to-end configuration in a few minutes.

The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available.

There's a very good layer that allows you to connect different data sources and establish a very good ETL workflow. 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 solution also allows you to schedule each of those runs with different cadences, depending on which plan you are on. At the same time, for those runs, you have the ability to hash, unhash, or map any data that might be sensitive or personally identifiable, and that's pretty robust. It's a feature in the standard plan, so you don't need the enterprise plan for that. One very powerful and cool feature is how you can integrate the solution with other transformation tools, such as dbt, or run the transformations within Fivetran itself to create a transformation layer on top of your ETL layer. That allows you to manage the entire ETL workflow end to end from within the platform without the need for any additional tool.

When it comes to managing ETL pipelines, these features are valuable.

The most important feature of the solution is its ability to build data pipelines in less time. 

Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication.

HVR Software's most valuable features are that it's simple to use and allows us to use the command line to quickly complete the entire universal replicative setup.

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. 

We use it for data publishing, data logs, and data refreshes These services are all very good.
