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.

Automated data collection has replaced manual emails and now connects business forms to back-end reports
Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited. We have to do a lot of manual entry with the form to get it set up. We have a lot of things that change year over year, so I have to go in there and manually play around with it, manually changing this and that. Having dynamic forms, having the forms connect to back-end data, and basically making the forms more streamlined would be my need from Prophecy. Everything else on the back end, the pipelines, and those types of things have been pretty easy to understand. I think once you get things set up, I've been very impressed with it. The only improvement at least for my side would be the form.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 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 product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"It's so intuitive and easy to use you can actually just teach yourself how to use it."
"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"I would recommend Matillion ETL for any cloud-based operations."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"Prophecy has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to offer it as an ETL layer for our incentive management application, which has improved our story and demos to customers during the sales cycle."
"The form feature of Prophecy is so valuable for our team because it saves us a lot of time."
"Prophecy has positively impacted my organization by greatly speeding up development time and providing capabilities of using DBT alongside functionalities associated with that, making it a very good tool to avoid coding much and utilize AI with the graphical tools available without needing to code."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"It would be great to have the ability to move windows around to dock in different locations or external windows."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"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."
"Prophecy is pretty stable, but there are often some unexpected issues that arise, especially performance issues or problems with Airflow on deployments."
"Prophecy can be improved, as right now the form is very limited."
"Prophecy is generally stable, although it does have a few issues at times, such as the Fabric connection randomly dropping and the environment freezing occasionally."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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 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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"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 solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
