Have seen support quality decline while still relying on long-standing data transformation features
I would assess the tool's error handling and logging features as part of it involves having a sampling thing. Depending on the definition of who's doing this, I used to work at a university where we looked at students who registered, and there were people who could register without specifying their gender. Most people know their gender. Some people would not put their birth date, so their date of birth was the default century. In 1989, we had hundreds of 89-year-olds because it was noted as 1900. What we would do is quickly assess that this is not reasonable; in a college setting, how many 89-year-olds are standing in line for freshman orientation? We could produce transformations on the fly. You can look at stuff, but ultimately, you need to go back to the data. There's logic involved; do you have to have a six-digit zip? Do you need the six plus four? It all depends on your criteria. It's doable, but it takes time, and if there's a lot of that, they usually hire people just to handle it. It's a tool that has its limitations; they haven't added wonderful features, and it's a GUI tool based on a desktop that you can run. Their manuals are pretty good, but we're not really using it actively, so I can't tell you everything right now.

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

"IBI has led the way for many years because they can read and write any data set."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"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."
 

Cons

"Their products work wonderfully during demos, but when we install them, they don't, and I end up following their manual only to find they forgot to mention something important."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
