Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…

Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

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 new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The monitoring tools are the most valuable feature."
"The most valuable feature of SAP Process Orchestration is its flexibility in being able to build integrations with SAP systems and non-SAP systems."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"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."
"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 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."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"The product roadmap suggests it will approach the end of support in several years, and a lot of innovations are now implemented by SAP not in SAP PO, but in SAP Integration Suite, hence, the platform is stable, but doesn't receive a lot of new features in recent updates."
"There are two main areas for improvement: performance and cost."
"It is scalable, but there can be performance issues with high data volume or traffic, especially during month ends."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The older version of the solution will no longer be supported."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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."
"Matillion ETL is 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 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."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"The fee for maintenance is costly."
"The license is a one-time payment, and additional costs are only incurred on the infrastructure side since it's an on-premise solution."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"The solution is highly-priced."
