Pros
  • Strong reliability handling schema changes and large-scale syncs, per reviewers
  • Broad catalog of 200+ destination integrations
  • Multi-year track record as a G2 category leader before acquisition
  • Free Basic Reverse ETL tier with unlimited destinations and seats (up to 2 active syncs)
  • Enterprise-grade security: ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type 2, SOC 3, HIPAA, GDPR
  • Git version control and approval flows for data pipelines
Cons
  • No longer sold as a standalone product — folded into Fivetran Activations after the May 2025 acquisition
  • Post-acquisition pricing moved to consumption-based Monthly Active Rows, which some reviewers found harder to predict
  • No public pricing beyond the free tier — Composable CDP and Agentic Marketing Platform require a custom quote
