Hevo reviews

I like how easy - almost trivially so - that it is to get started with Hevo. It literally just works. The team have made it really simple to start, and include a free trial. Also the support team are excellent. It has great documentation as well so you can synchronise easily from a wide range of sources and destinations.

Some things aren't as polished as you'd like. For instance, you can't categorise pipelines or sort them into folders. You simply have a huge list. Also, there's no easy way - without programming it yourself using the Hevo API - to manage pipelines in bulk. Let's say you have pipelines for similar databases with the same structures; you have to manage them by-hand, individually, or you have to make your own tools.

I really like the ease with which you can deploy the tool

The tool can get better in documentation and video tutorials.

Simple and effective hassle free table syncing between Cloud VM SQL Server and Snowflake DWH.

Getting Hevo white listed with other vendors such as FTP sites is the first big hurdle.
Sometimes I'd like to have it sync a view from my source system but it struggles with this. Instead I make it sync the source tables of the view.

It has suited all our needs.
- The most critical part was reading Oplog from production MongoDB replica.
- Cleaning PII and sensitive data on the fly before loading to DWH
- Wide range of sources and even Webhooks (any arbitrary source)

I might only add Hevo is constantly evolving.
I participate in proposing new useful features from my PoV.

The GUI is very user-friendly and the support has been great! When setting up a connector, the tips on the right-hand side of the screen are fantastic. For instance, when setting up a new destination in Snowflake, the script to create the role, database, etc are supplied there. You just have to change the names. I've reached out to their support team a few times now. The chat box is helpful to get started and they're very responsive. I've never waited more than 5 minutes for an initial response. If the case escalates, the response is equally impressive. The answers are clear and they're extremely friendly.

It took me awhile to figure out how to change the destination table when using an API. It defaults to the table name 'API', which isn't helpful when you're setting up multiple API feeds to the same destination. Once I figured out how to do it though, it wasn't a problem.

The tool is quite intuitive to set-up and easy to set up.

Some detailed configuration may sometimes be hard to find in the platform itself.

Support is fantastic and the features are brillant

Hard to convince people away from the bigger options

Hevo supports a lot of connectors, plus ease of integration with them and a nice documentation to self configure it

Sometimes it lags a lot in the case of the Postgres replication slot, it should be fixed, also there should be notifications on slack in case an OLTP to OLAP pipeline lags more than the threshold.

Ease of usage
Very good customer support

Can improve the documentation for the newly added features.
Example : REST API Source

Hevo is very easy to set up (the whole process is self explanatory) and has a lot of integrations. It also allows for a lot of flexibility with Rest API and Webhook integrations.
The UI is very well tought out and the whole product feels professional.
I should also point out the Consumer Service, which is great and very helpfull. I get answers every time I talk to them, and I feel my problems are being taken seriously.

Hevo doesn't allow precise control of the Ingestion and Loading frequency and times. You can only choose a frequency or specify certain times, but even this one is limited to a certain number of runs.
This is our only limitation with Hevo right now.

Hevo Data saved our company in more ways than one. For the bi-directional Hubspot features alone, this tool is worth the cost for us, hands-down. We were able to pull all of our Hubspot data into our data warehouse, annotate, and push back to custom properties and objects.

The tool worked so well, we began using it as the core ETL connector for our data lake, and are testing as our scheduled task manager for the core transformations for our data warehouse.

The pricing model has worked out well for us. The free trial to prototype how the thing works, and how we could be efficient with our usage of connectors, has also been wonderful.

THe list of connectors is really good, but not 100% where we wish. In addition, migrations from one tool to another (e.g. Intercom -> Hubspot) require us to do a bunch of manual mapping that is hard; other tools have these mappings canned and are therefore easier to use for that use-case.

The customer service is great, they were always ready to help, very kind. Great sources opinions, to integrate with and to use as destination.

It can be complicated to make a pipeline with some specific source and it doesn’t seem to have an easy solution to fix the issue.

Ease of use, flexible, ability to query data and push the processed data into the warehouse, making all data pipeline needs completely customizable.

Sometimes has bugs which cause errors in pipelines, but their customer service is impeccable, and they literally respond in as little as minutes to solve your problem immediately.

Hevo solves most of the things, specially the customer support is Fantastic

I wonder if they have knowledge information support via video with documentation part.

Customer Support, ease of integrating new sources.

Can't edit the slack notifications with salutations.

Connectors, automapping and ease of use overall.

Missing ELT(Activate deprecation), our use case was something around pushing data into s3 and salesforce.As per my knowledge, hevo used to support s3 as destination via pipelines and salesforce as target via activate. This is no longer supported, it would have been useful if it weren't deprecated.

about tools to get asana data using pipeline

this software is so powerfull and easy to operating

Easy to use, even for a novice. You can have your data being aggregated from various sources, and dumped into a DB of your choice - Allowing you to get going on building reports FAST!

The Trial period could have been a little longer than 7 Days, I would have preferred a month (I did manage to get a further 7 day extension on the trial though).

The things which I most like about Hevo is the automation level in the product. Hevo will take care of everything from source mapping to destination mapping with just a few clicks. It has many useful features, be it table/column auto-mapping , resizing and basic transformations for complex data sources like Mongo where you want to flatten the nested data.

Alarm feature can be little more intuitive.

Smooth OpLog/Change Stream based syncing is one of the strongest reasons I stick to this platform.

Transformations UI can be a bit better and more user friendly

Hevo is one of the easiest tool to get started with. Every data source we needed was present in Hevo. Pipeline setup process was also straightforward.

I believe monitoring could be improved.

Click and Select development of pipelines.

Pricing of the product is higher than expected.

It is easy to use and affordable, and also has a lot of integration.

team management and customizable permission management aren't that good but that's not too much of a problem

We decided to shop around for a new solution because our current provider decided to raise their prices significantly. Hevodata checked all the boxes.

When we first started out, our BigQuery costs went up, but we were able to mitigate that by changing the frequency.
