Sunny Kumar - PeerSpot reviewer
High efficiency, performs well, and price well
The decision to use Matillion ETL depends on the specific requirements. If the requirements can be met without Matillion ETL in a short amount of time, then using it would be unnecessary. However, if dealing with large data sets and frequent data migrations to and from the cloud, then Matillion ETL would be a suitable choice. I have a lot of experience in this field of data and I was able to achieve results with Matillion ETL that I was not able to with the traditional approach. The solution is helpful for large amounts of data. I rate Matillion ETL an eight out of ten.
Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven 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

"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"It's scalable."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The data lineage is great."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"Great features available in one tool."
 

Cons

"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"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 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."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"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."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"The workflow could be improved."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The prices needs to be lower."
"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 cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"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."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"It's expensive."
