Executive SummaryUpdated on Jul 6, 2025

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud and Equalum are key players in the data integration space. Matillion's competitive pricing and customer support are favored, but Equalum's advanced CDC and no-code features offer compelling value.

Features: Matillion stands out with its seamless integration and automation, especially tailored for AWS, allowing rapid data ingestion and transformation. Its components for data verification and mid-pipeline sampling make it invaluable for ETL engineers. On the other hand, Equalum offers robust streaming capabilities with CDC replication and a user-friendly no-code interface, simplifying complex data tasks. It effectively integrates with Kafka and Spark, providing agility and performance.

Room for Improvement: Matillion users suggest more frequent updates to match third-party APIs and better customization. They also desire broader database integration. Equalum users recommend better integration documentation and wider database compatibility. Improvements in separating projects within environments during deployment could enhance user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: Matillion operates primarily in public cloud settings, supported by a highly responsive team and excellent documentation. Equalum supports on-premises and hybrid deployments, offering greater flexibility. While their support is commendable, Matillion's comprehensive resources and online guides are particularly noted.

Pricing and ROI: Matillion's pricing is clear, based on usage and team size, with competitive rates via AWS Marketplace. Despite some expense concerns, it offers transparent pay-as-you-go plans. Equalum, although pricier compared to some, offsets costs with its time-saving features and scalable pricing that caters to extensive data requirements.

There is no better product for CDC and streaming on Kafka

The Equalum user interface is extremely easy to use. I would rank it really highly on user-friendliness. The only issue with the user interface is it doesn't supply everything that you need for somebody who has to work with Equalum. For example, when you get deep into development, there are many areas where you have to go to the command line to do things and the Equalum user interface does not have that functionality. The deployment of their flows needs improvement. It doesn't work with a typical Git branching and CI/CD deployment strategy. If you have multiple projects, all working in one Equalum environment, separating out their work is something that you have to design into your implementation, as opposed to baked into the product.

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

"Equalum is real-time. If you are moving from an overnight process to a real-time process, there is always a difference in what reports and analytics show compared to what our operational system shows. Some of our organizations, especially finance, don't want those differences to be shown. Therefore, going to a real-time environment makes the data in one place match the data in another place. Data accuracy is almost instantaneous with this tool."

"The main impact for Oracle LogMiner is the performance. Performance is drastically reduced if you use the solution’s Oracle Binary Log Parser. So, if we have 60 million records, initially it used to take a minute. Now, it takes a second to do synchronization from the source and target tables."

"All our architectural use cases are on a single platform, not multiple platforms. You don't have to dump into different modules because it is the same module everywhere."

"It's a really powerful platform in terms of the combination of technologies they've developed and integrated together, out-of-the-box. The combination of Kafka and Spark is, we believe, quite unique, combined with CDC capabilities. And then, of course, there are the performance aspects. As an overall package, it's a very powerful data integration, migration, and replication tool."

"Equalum has resulted in system performance improvements in our organization. Now, I am ingressing data off of multiple S3 sources, doing data processing, and formatting a schema. This would usually take me a couple of days, but now it takes me hours."

"It's got it all, from end-to-end. It's the glue. There are a lot of other products out there, good products, but there's always a little bit of something missing from the other products. Equalum did its research well and understood the requirements of large enterprise and governments in terms of one tool to rule them all, from a data migration integration perspective."

"I found two features in Equalum that I consider the most valuable. One is that Equalum is a no-code tool. You can do your activities on its graphical interface, which doesn't require complex knowledge of extracting, changing, or loading data. Another feature of Equalum that I like the most is that it monitors the data transfers and tells you if there's any issue so that you can quickly check and correct it. Equalum also tells you where the problem lies, for example, if it's a hardware or communication issue."

"Equalum provides a single platform for core architectural use cases, including CDC replication, streaming ETL, and batch ETL. That is important to our clients because there is no other single-focus product that covers these areas in that much detail, and with this many features on the platform. The fact that they are single-minded and focused on CDC and ETL makes this such a rich solution. Other solutions cover these things a little bit in their multi-function products, but they don't go as deep."

"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."

"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."

"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 loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."

"The product has a good user interface."

"It's been able to do everything we require."

"Matillion's technical support is excellent."

"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."

Cons

"I should be able to see only my project versus somebody else's garbage. That is something that would be good in future. Right now, the security is by tenants, but I would like to have it by project, e.g., this project has this source and flows in these streams, and I have access to this on this site."

"Their UI could use some work. Also, they could make it just a little faster to get around their user interface. It could be a bit more intuitive with things like keyboard shortcuts."

"Right now, they have a good notification system, but it is in bulk. For example, if I have five projects running and I put a notification, the notification comes back to me for all five projects. I would like the notification to come back only for one project."

"The deployment of their flows needs improvement. It doesn't work with a typical Git branching and CI/CD deployment strategy."

"They need to expand their capabilities in some of the targets, as well as source connectors, and native connectors for a number of large data sources and databases. That's a huge challenge for every company in this area, not just Equalum."

"There is not enough proven integration with other vendors. That is what needs to be worked on. Equalum hasn't tested anything between vendors, which worries our clients. We need more proven vendor integration. It is an expensive product and it needs to support a multi-vendor approach."

"If you need to use the basic features of Equalum, for example, you don't even need data integration, then many competitors in the market can give you basic features. For instance, if you need batch ETL, you can pick among solutions in the market that have been around longer than Equalum. What needs improvement in Equalum is replication, as it could be faster. Equalum also needs better integration with specific databases such as Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server."

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."

"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."

"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."

"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."

"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."

"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."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"They have a very simple approach to licensing. They don't get tied up with different types of connectivity to different databases. If you need more connectors or if you need more CPU, you just add on. It's component-based pricing."

"Equalum was reasonably priced. It is not like those million dollar tools, such as Informatica."

"As soon as you have more than six users, Equalum is lower in cost [than Talend] and if the group gets bigger, it's quite a big delta. If more users want to use it, you don't end up with an increase in licensing costs, so that makes it very easy. And if you need more licenses or more sources, it's a very simple upgrade methodology."

"Equalum licensing costs vary, but I won't be able to give information on its fees."

"Equalum is rather expensive compared to its competitors. So, you have to make up that cost in time savings, and we usually do that. If we are saving money, it is because we are reducing our development time."

"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."

"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."

"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."

"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."

"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 product must improve its pricing."

"Matillion ETL is expensive."
