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 perpetual tier for testing/prototyping (0.5 vCPU, 1GB RAM cluster)
  • Multi-cloud support (AWS, Azure, GCP) plus hybrid/private cloud options
  • SOC2, GDPR, and HIPAA compliance for managed cloud
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
  • Standard/Premium tiers are usage-based with minimum spend on Premium, pricing not fully transparent without configuring a cluster
  • G2 review volume is still small (12 reviews) relative to more established vector DBs
