Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks

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."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The product has a good user interface."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"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."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 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."
"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."
"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."
"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 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 was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
