Efficient data integration and transformation with seamless cloud-native integration
In our small business unit, we currently have around four users, with two of them utilizing Matillion within our organization. Considering our growing needs, we're contemplating transitioning to an enterprise SaaS solution where we would share the same instance. Currently, each user is billed individually, but consolidating to a shared instance seems more efficient. Scalability is excellent when using the SaaS solution, easily reaching a rating of ten out of ten. Each data pipeline request is encapsulated within a Docker container and spun off, allowing for instant scalability. Overall, I would rate it a nine out of ten in terms of performance and scalability.

Transparent with good reliability and good data visibility
The initial setup had a medium level of difficulty. If we go through the documentation, we can learn about what to do. In Palantir, they had a section called Academy, and that Academy was quite useful. If you go through that as a new user, it makes the process easier as you learn what to do. Initially, we didn't have many sources that would help us learn things, so we struggled a bit. In contrast, with Azure and Amazon Cloud, you have many sources from where you would be easily able to learn. You could just Google what you needed with them, as there's so much available documentation online. What was easy was the fact that everything was in one place. With AWS Cloud, there are many applications to support. You can use Glue or Athena, and you have all these other applications. However, with Palantir, everything is easy due to the fact that it is centralized. It's drag and drop and everything is very transparent.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"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 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."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"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."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"The AI engine that comes with Palantir Foundry is quite interesting."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"It's scalable."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
 

Cons

"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"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."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"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 solution’s data security could be improved."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The frontend capabilities of Palantir Foundry could be improved."
"The workflow could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
