Allows for data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies
The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies. Upsolver does this in a quick time, unlike traditional processes which are time-consuming. Additionally, it offers scalability for large volumes of data, with performance and ease of cloud-native integration.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"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 was easy to use and set up, with a nearly no-code interface that relied mostly on drag-and-drop functionality."
"Customer service is excellent, and I would rate it between eight point five to nine out of ten."
"The most prominent feature of Upsolver is its function as an ETL tool, allowing data to be moved across platforms and different data technologies."
 

Cons

"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"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."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"There is room for improvement in query tuning."
"On the stability side, I would rate it seven out of ten. Using multiple cloud providers and data engineering technologies creates complexity, and managing different plugins is not always easy, but they are working on it."
"Upsolver excels in ETL and data aggregation, while ThoughtSpot is strong in natural language processing for querying datasets. Combining these tools can be very effective: Upsolver handles aggregation and ETL, and ThoughtSpot allows for natural language queries. There’s potential for highlighting these integrations in the future."
 

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."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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."
"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 solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
"Upsolver is affordable at approximately $225 per terabyte per year."
