Flatly Reviews

Flatly just works efficiently and effectively in the background every day and saves me a lot of time from manually exporting and importing CSV files

Pre-emptive alerting to problems would be useful.

Very quick and simple to get an extract running direct into a Google sheet

Over a 2 year period the columns in my extract have changed without warning a few times. I mostly put this down to changes in my data source (Insightly), however in retrospect some sort of built in warning within Flatly would be useful. Either that or I build checking into my software, which I don’t really want to do.

Our company needed to flatten data from Google Cloud Firestore-database and Flatly was really to only option to do this and it works great.

There is really not cons about Flatly at least in our use. Works like a charm.

Easy to interact with, great/responsive customer service

Unfortunately the integrations I was looking to use were not currently functional. I reached out to customer support and was quickly refunded. They also said they would get in touch with me when the integrations were functional again. Window to having integrations working was < 2 weeks.

Converts my firebase realtime db tables into CSV flawlessly. Columns are named automatically and correctly . Automatic syncing every 6 hours is a major bonus.

A bit pricey. A bit slow if you have too many fields. Sometimes you don't know if there are fields in you json that are unused. However, you can manually select columns to export if you know your data well.

Did exactly what I wanted and setup took less than an hour.

There are a lot of great integrations already setup but I wish there were more or a way to setup my own API's with my custom applications.

It has never failed me and their support is great.

Everything has always worked great so far since I have used it.

Flatly is a great way to pipe data to places you need it. It is extremely easy to set-up and has been 100% reliable for us.

The only thing I could possible ask for would be to cross-reference tables via custom queries. But its probably a little unreasonable to ask for this given Flatly's price point.

It is quite an intuitive product that is really limited only by the availability of data at the source.

There was not much I didn't like. As mentioned, the limits were really on the sources.

Helps us access data that isn't easily accessed.

When modifying a job, you can miss the need to relaunch the hourly exporting. Going days before realizing the reports haven't been pulling as scheduled.

Use it for backing up our CRM database on a weekly basis. This gives us peace of mind that no matter what happens to the records in our CRM we have the raw data on a weekly basis. This gives us protections from a cyber attack or an employee mistake, or intentional harm to our company.

The pricing structure should have more of an intermediate step from plan to plan.

Allowed us to keep our existing Power BI dashboards when the source we switched to did not have direct DB access.

I wish we could manually force some syncs during development. Once things are setup we don't need constantly updated data, but it would be nice to have a limited number of manual syncs per day. I also wish the data could go to Teams or Sharepoint so it didn't need to be tied to a personal OneDrive.
