Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps.""It's been able to do everything we require.""We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL).""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation.""Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use.""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.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."

Cons
"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.""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 am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product.""Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves.""It needs integration with more data sources.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"The pricing model needs to be reconsidered and adjusted.""The solution can provide access to the newer databases that come out sooner.""I can't really recall any missing feature or general improvement that is needed. We don't really add too many new kinds of databases and therefore our needs are already met."

    Overview

    Matillion ETL is a powerful tool for extracting, transforming, and loading large amounts of data from various sources into cloud data warehouses like Snowflake. Its ability to load data dynamically and efficiently using metadata is a standout feature, as is its open-source ETL with good performance and high efficiency. 

    The solution has a graphical interface for jobs, is easily adjustable and extensible, and allows for scheduling and error reporting. Matillion ETL has helped organizations move to a cloud-based solution, bridge the gap between on-premises and on-cloud, and perform complex migration projects.

    SAS/ACCESS is an out-of-the-box solution for integrating SAS and third-party databases. You can read, write and update data regardless of the database or platform. Because the data appears native to SAS, there is no need to learn Structured Query Language (SQL) or any other database-specific query languages.
