Connectors
Fivetran’s 500+ connectors include many categorized as “lite,” meaning they offer reduced data granularity and are only suitable for specific use cases. If you rely on Moz, Google Trends, or SemRush, you won’t find a connector for them in Fivetran’s library.
Adverity offers over 600 robust connectors, covering marketing, data science, and business intelligence needs. With universal connectors, you can connect to virtually any data source you need.
No-code/low-code? Fivetran vs. Adverity
Fivetran's transformation process requires your team to be well-versed in SQL. This makes even basic data manipulations labor-intensive for teams lacking technical knowledge. The reliance on SQL can slow down operations and add extra layers of complexity for non-engineering teams.
In contrast, Adverity offers a range of no-code and low-code options that simplify data transformations for everyone. From pre-built data transformations like Currency Conversion and Join Datastream to advanced coding capabilities for power users, Adverity caters to both non-technical and technical teams. For users needing extra help, AI-powered Enrichment CoPilot assists in complex transformations, making data manipulation accessible to all.
Data Exploration: Real-time data insights with Adverity
One limitation with Fivetran is that it does not offer data exploration features. Once the data is ingested, teams cannot explore or visualize it within the platform, which can hinder analysis and delay decision-making.
Adverity, however, enables teams to explore ingested data immediately. With our platform, you can view and interact with data in both table form and visualizations, helping teams validate and review data before it reaches its final destination. This capability reduces time spent on manual data checks and allows for instant insights.
Destinations
Fivetran provides 11 built-in destinations for data ingestion, but popular platforms like Looker Studio and HubSpot are absent — this absence can be a significant challenge for teams that rely on a variety of marketing and BI tools.
Adverity, on the other hand, offers a wide selection of destinations, giving teams more control over where their data goes. Whether you need to connect to a business intelligence tool, a CRM, or a database, Adverity ensures your data flows where you need it.
In summary: why choose Adverity over Fivetran?
Fivetran is a basic ELT tool for automating data extraction, but its limited connectors and coding-dependent transformations restrict how effectively teams can use it, especially for marketing or non-technical users.
Adverity provides a fully integrated data platform with more connectors, no-code/low-code transformations, and AI-powered governance. This platform enables businesses of all sizes to manage their data pipelines seamlessly, delivering cleaner data to more destinations.
