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.
Doug Isabelle - PeerSpot reviewer
Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has a good user interface."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"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."
"Scalability in Matillion Data Productivity Cloud has some limitations. Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"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 prices needs to be lower."
"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 product must improve its pricing."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
