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

"It is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"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."
"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)."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"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 most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"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."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"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."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
 

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."
"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."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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."
"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."
"The product must improve its pricing."
