Enhances operational efficiency with valuable prepackaged content and cost-effective pricing
For organizations that operate within an SAP ecosystem, SAP Process Orchestration is recommended due to its cost-effectiveness and the availability of valuable prepackaged content. It is important to consider the needs of your industry, as SAP Process Orchestration may not meet all requirements in consumer-oriented sectors. I'd rate the solution eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"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 standard adapter with EBA abilities is the most valuable feature. It has good process integration."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The initial setup is easy."
"It is strategically focused to forecast a global integration platform for our business."
"The initial setup was straightforward."
"I think it is a very stable tool. My company did not have any problem with the tool."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"Orchestration is beneficial for us."
 

Cons

"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"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."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"Data modeling is an area of concern in the product where improvements are required."
"The usability is an area where it can be improved upon."
"It requires some maintenance."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
"SAP Process Orchestration could improve from an API standpoint. This is not an API management tool, which is one of its drawbacks. However, SAP has released an SAP Cloud Platform Integration which has all of the features, such as API management along with process integration to replace what they had previously."
"I think the main area that SAP PO should improve on is offering pre-delivered content like they do when you use SAP Cloud Platform Integration (CPI). SAP should not forget that they still have a lot of customers using Process Orchestration and they should focus more on providing pre-delivered content in SAP PO."
"Some configurations can be a little tricky."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"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."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"My company deals with different pricing models of the product, according to which we don't pay for the solution directly, but we do pay for the maintenance part."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
