"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.

It can also support an on-prem database.""Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS.""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."
