What Fivetran HVR is
Fivetran HVR replicates data between databases and file systems, covering initial loads, continuous change capture, integration, and source-to-target comparison. It can use log-based change data capture and supports standard replication, soft deletes, TimeKey history records, multi-way replication, and data transformations. A hub with remote agents supports parallelization and multiple data flows from one console. Users can operate it through a browser interface, command line, or REST APIs. Channels connect databases, files, directories, and data warehouses; SAP NetWeaver is not supported as a target. Agent communication uses TLS 1.3, while an optional hub wallet can encrypt classified data with AES256. HVR includes authentication and access controls and can integrate with LDAP or Kerberos. It is self-hosted for Linux and Windows, requires a valid license, and measures usage in monthly active rows. Pricing is on request with a 14-day trial.
