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.

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

"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool."
"It has made our lives much easier, this is what my teammates who were using the other stuff before have said, then they moved it to Snowflake and now it is much easier and faster to use than before."
"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."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and supports the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"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."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"Scalability in Matillion Data Productivity Cloud has some limitations. Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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."
"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 prices needs to be lower."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"There is no license. The solution is free."
