"Ab Initio Co>Operating System support is the best I have encountered."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"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."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
 

Cons

"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"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."
"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."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Co>Operating System's pricing is on the expensive end since it tends to be used by big enterprises."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
