Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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 improved the costs of managing my customer’s data.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple.""The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps.""The product has a good user interface.""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)."

"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features.""The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes.""If you compare it to SQL, the memory and development times are very quick.""The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful.""I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize.""The technical support is excellent.""Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools.""This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."

Cons
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""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.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""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.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level.""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.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process.""I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations.""The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure.""One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place.""Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics.""We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows.""The solution could use better documentation.""The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
