We performed a comparison between Matillion ETL and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."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."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"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 most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"Zapier's interface, for me, is the solution's greatest value proposition. It is designed and developed for people who don't have a clue about what they're trying to do. It has a very user-friendly interface."
"Zapier is a really good tool for connecting multiple different platforms and data sources. For example, with Quickbase, I can easily integrate data from other sources like AWS or task-tracking platforms such as ClickUp or Asana."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"The product's most valuable feature is automation."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"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."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"With Zapier, improvements are required in the areas of concerns like bugs, ease of use, and documentation."
"I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"Zapier needs to improve in the same way most RPA solutions should, such as Robocorp, Make, or UiPath. They are not good at helping you find the connections that you need for the problem that you have. For example, if need something on Instagram. I'm going to have to do research for hours to be able to find the components or the app, which is going to do what I need it to do. It makes it difficult to use the system when you don't know what to use."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
