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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 product has a good user interface."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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."
"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"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 think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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 is expensive."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
