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 takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"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 has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"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 most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
 

Cons

"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"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."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"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 product must improve its pricing."
"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."
