Integration with existing tools enhances data handling capabilities
DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft. While we are only downloading at the moment, we have tested some uploads, and the performance seems better than Data Loader, though it is more complicated. Both products use recommended security protocols, and we don't worry about their security.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"DBM allows integration with SQL Server, which is beneficial for Microsoft."
"Their support is good, very responsive despite being overseas."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
 

Cons

"DBM is a bit more complicated when compared to DataLoader, especially for more complex operations."
"DBM is a bit more complicated when compared to DataLoader, especially for more complex operations."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"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."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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."
"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 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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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."
