Datastreamer vs. Fivetran

Datastreamer has great competency in aggregation and classification of large amounts of unstructured, conversational/social data. We perform media monitoring on social media data which is infinitely large and changing every second. Datastreamer is able to stream that high volume of complex data reliably. There are other solutions better suited for small data movement efforts. The AI models and operations set Datastreamer apart from simple web API's that only collect data and pass it on without augmenting it's value. Very appropriate for organizations looking to use this type of information to understand and classify sentiment, identify themes/insights to assist in decision making across multi-department roles in an organization: PR, marketing, security etc.

[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

• 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

• 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

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.

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.

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

• Saved a lot of manual development days (unable to quantify)
• Accelerated the time to add a new source to the data warehouse a lot
