Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"Familiar, intuitive GUI coming from a Java development background, in-depth, descriptive, and well-laid-out documentation, responsive support through forums directly from Clover staff, a wealth of customizable pre-defined components, descriptive logging for error messages, and ease of install with a light footprint make it very effective to use."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"I would recommend Matillion ETL for any cloud-based operations."
"It has enabled building a data warehouse within three months from the ground up to support WMS reporting."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"It's so intuitive and easy to use you can actually just teach yourself how to use it."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
 

Cons

"Needs easier automated failure recovery, more and more intuitive auto-generated or filled-in code for components, and easier or more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough."
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
