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.

A seamless all-in-one solution
This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything. With other solutions, you'll need a separate platform for data ingestion, manipulation, etc. Then you'll need another tool for reporting. Palantir Gotham literally does it all. It generates a report regardless of the format. It can seamlessly generate it after the data has been collected.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"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 can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"This solution is seamless. From one platform, we can do just about anything."
 

Cons

"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"I think there should be less coding involved. Currently, using it involves a tremendous amount of coding."
 

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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"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 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 is expensive."
"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."
