At a glance

  • Fivetran is a very simple tool for quickly extracting data from specific data sources into a table or spreadsheet helping businesses save time and money on some of their basic data operations. However, the number of data sources you can connect is limited and while data extraction is easy-to-use, even simple data transformations require SQL coding meaning they get very complicated, very quickly.

  • Adverity provides a much more sophisticated integrated data platform with not only a wider collection of data connectors, but also a range of pre-built data transformations and enrichment options without the need to code. There is also an option to perform custom powerful data transformations with multi-tiered and complex executions.

Adverity vs Fivetran - in depth

Connectors

With only around 160+ native connectors, Fivetran users are highly limited in where they can extract data from with some very standard native connectors unavailable to them including Moz, SemRush, and Google Trends.

Adverity has more than 600 connectors with a strong focus on marketing data sources. With the option to also use various ‘universal connectors’ you can connect to almost any data source you need.

No-code/low-code?

In Fivetran, all data transformations are SQL-based which means, unless your team is experienced in SQL, additional resources are required to perform even basic data transformations.

Meanwhile, Adverity provides a range of pre-built yet powerful data transformations that cover a range of use cases from Smart Naming Conventions and Currency Conversion to the easy-to-use Match and Map or Join Datastreams functions. With Instant Schema Mapping, you can even harmonize your data as it’s fetched with in-built suggestions and robust governance controls, plus the option to build your own custom transformations for skilled coders giving you the best of both worlds.

Data Exploration

You cannot explore ingested data within Fivetran either in table form or through visualizations.

Adverity offers data exploration options meaning you can instantly check and review your data even before you send it to its final destination.

Destinations

It’s always important to have the flexibility to send your data where you need it. Fivetran offers 11 native destinations you can send your ingested data but it is worth noting this does not include common destinations such as Looker Studio.

With Adverity, you not only have the ability to visualize your data directly in the platform, you can also send it pretty much anywhere you want, either with one of our pre-built destination connectors or via a custom-built connector. 

In summary

Fivetran is a very simple tool for quickly extracting data from specific data sources into a table or spreadsheet helping businesses save time and money on some of their basic data operations.

However, the number of data sources you can connect is limited and while data extraction is easy-to-use, even simple data transformations require SQL coding meaning they get very complicated, very quickly.

Adverity provides a much more sophisticated integrated data platform with not only a wider collection of data connectors, but also a range of pre-built data transformations and enrichment options without the need to code. There is also an option to perform custom powerful data transformations with multi-tiered and complex executions.

They said it, not us!

"[Fivetran has] extremely opaque billing practices. Our bill shot up about 5x month over month with no notice because of very loose usage of "free historical syncs."
- Onur S., CTO
"I have been using Fivetran for three months now and have been through three Account Managers. My current manager tricked me into an annual contract by promising me discounts which were never applied."
- Jabob N., Senior Data Engineer
"[Fivetran] is ridiculously slow for the price I pay. I cannot do anything in real-time for now."
- Amey D.
