"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"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."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"The product is expensive for data streaming. This area needs improvement."
"The solution’s stability could be improved."
"AWS Glue would be improved by making it easier to switch from single to multi-cloud."

"There should be more connectors for different databases."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"I have encountered challenges with multi-region support."
"There is a learning curve to this tool."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"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."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
