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

"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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."
"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)."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"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 cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"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."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"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."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"Matillion ETL is 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."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
