It lets us create models so we can generate real-time predictions and insights for a our clients
Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing. I would like it if we could set the solution up to process and respond to real-time events. For example, say I want to configure an app to run based on the mileage a car has driven, and I configure the metering system, so the event occurs every 15 days. Let's say we want to automatically send an alert to EMS, police, etc. if a car gets into an accident. Transformation Manager is more of a conventional tool for reporting, extracting volume, bulk loading, etc. but there should be more provisions for dealing with real-time events, creating some insights, and dealing with perishable data. Ten minutes after the accident, the data doesn't have value. It has value before you saved the person.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"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."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
 

Cons

"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"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."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"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."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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 prices needs to be lower."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
