Fully-featured, good performance, and easy to use and install
We are using it to back up the software across the network to a remote server It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do. It is also very easy to use and install. It is pretty self-explanatory, and their support was also very good. Everything is fine. The user…

Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"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."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"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."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
