Fivetran Likes & Dislikes
The best thing about Fivetran is the wide range of connectors with almost every data ingestion service and the ease of use. Automated schema handling and incremental syncs make it particularly strong for scaling ingestion across many systems.
Easy setup. Most data integrations to enterprise platforms. Great customer service.
It is very easy to establish new connectors without detailed knowledge of APIs. The site layout is user friendly, making it very easy to manage refresh rates and spot any issues. Customer support has also been very communicative and supportive.
We have occasionally seen unexpected full reloads, which can be disruptive for high volume tables. MAR (Monthly Active Rows) pricing also lacks transparency and can quickly escalate for frequently updated datasets. In some cases, the fully managed nature of the platform limits deeper customisation.
Usage-based pricing can easily blow up a budget and needs to be managed carefully. An update or backfill on a large billion-record source table can easily increase your MAR (Monthly Active Records) past your quota. This makes budget planning very difficult.
Connector refreshes can fail or become delayed and require trial and error to decipher the cause of the issue. There is also a limited choice of security measures for establishing webhooks. Some of our largest connectors have data missing, and though I have reported this as a feature request, as have others, there has been no response on the thread.

Exploring Low-Code Data Movement Platforms: First-hand Experience
The implementation team was very helpful as this was our first experience with a low-code data movement platform. We have had a decent learning curve in understanding/confirming that the data moved is what is expected. But both in connecting to a very old db2 system along with other troubleshooting opportunities, their service department has been good to work with.
