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

"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"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 is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"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 loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"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."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"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."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"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."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"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 price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
