Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The product has a good user interface."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"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

"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"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."
"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 current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"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."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"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 solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"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."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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 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."
