Featured Reviews

Aditi Bhardwaj - PeerSpot reviewer
Provides an ease of access and an automated mapping feature
We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records. Above that, we need to look for alternative solutions. They could provide automated transformation or mapping features around 10 to 15 independent data objects. We could have a default mark or limit of free usage for standard objects. It will be helpful. Additionally, we can have more integrations with large data volumes as we need a lot of exercises to handle the files in case of complex sites.
Jitendra Jena - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
 

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"DataLoader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"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."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"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 solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"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."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"Its price depends on what you expect. You pay on a monthly basis, but there is a possibility to have special contracts depending on the installation."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
