User Testimonials
	DataStax Change Data Capture (CDC)	Fivetran
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	[Fivetran is] very well suited when you are using popular and common data sources, such as the major ad platforms, and SaaS platforms such as Salesforce. If the majority of your data sources are custom internal applications or databases, may be less value as you aren't leveraging the delivered connectors. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	Simplified ETL from a wide range of data sources Stable and painless data pipeline Granular control over what parts of the data source are loaded Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Doesn't include support for a Kinesis stream as a data source so couldn't be used for some use cases under consideration Doesn't support the use of "BEFORE DELETE" triggers No support for serverless Aurora Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	Very easy and intuitive to setup and maintain as there usually are not that many options. Very well documented (e.g. how to setup each connector, how the schema looks like, any specific features of this connector etc.). Also the operation is intuitive, e.g. you have status pages, log pages, configuration pages etc. for each connector. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Performance	No answers on this topic	It runs pretty well and gets our data from point A to point cluster quickly enough. Honestly, it's not something I think about unless it breaks and that's pretty rare. Incentivized Scott Laronge Head of Data Science Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	Fivetran came well with the connectors' availability and updates with the source changes. We had an idea on data requirements in our case which helped us to work out on cost implication and take a decision for Fivetran as a data provider for our organization. These were 2 places where Fivetran out-performed, other vendors. Incentivized Sudarshan Kothari Senior Data Scientist Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	Saved a lot of manual development days (unable to quantify) Accelerated the time to add a new source to the data warehouse a lot Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
