Helps with real-time data processing and improves decision-making overall
It improves decision-making overall for the company. Informatica is usually the tool for setting up the data, streaming the data into your data warehouse from your source, transforming the data, and preparing and modeling it into some desired format. It improves the performance. You need to know how to use it and how to implement it, but it improves performance.

Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It improves the performance."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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)."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
 

Cons

"Skill requirement is required. There is a learning curve."
"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 needs integration with more data sources."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"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."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"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 pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
