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

"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"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."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"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."
"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

"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."
"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."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"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 solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"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."
