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 is fully featured. It has allowed me to do everything I wanted to do."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"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 has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
 

Cons

"The user interface could improve. We are looking at some cloud-based databases, and I don't think they support that."
"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."
"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."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"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."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"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 prices needs to be lower."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
