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

"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.​​"
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"We switched to CloverETL because of its flexibility to connect to various data sources and no dependence on native language and ease of use."
"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical, and it has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"It has enabled building a data warehouse within three months from the ground up to support WMS reporting."
"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

"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"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.​"
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"It is not an end-to-end platform for ETL. To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"More frequent releases are needed, due to API changes from Google, Marketo, and Facebook."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
