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 technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation.""It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface.""It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly.""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."

"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target.""I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool.""The core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient.""Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously.""The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."

Cons
"The tool's lineage is very weak.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful.""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."

"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training.""I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement.""The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication.""I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us.""For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
