Jacques Du Preez - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers good user interface and easy to navigate
Our experience is mainly around using Snowflake Data Cloud with Matillion. And the two of them combined, offer superior performance and price point benefits. Using them together is very efficient because Matillion's processing and Snowflake's own scalability and consumption based on pushing down code work well together. They are very efficient. We've used Azure Data Factory (ADF) for integration. So that's an alternative, depending on customer choice for the integration. And then on AWS, a few of the other services, like Terraform, and S3 storage, and that's about it. It's on a case-by-case basis. If they've chosen ADF as a technology, then we implement using that choice.

Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
 

Cons

"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"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 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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"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."
"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."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
