Featured Reviews

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 product's initial setup phase was easy."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
 

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."
"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."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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 AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"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."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
