Featured Reviews

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.

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

"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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 new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"The product has good technical support but you usually will not need it because it is quite stable."
"The monitoring is one of the greatest features in Process Orchestration because it is user-friendly and easy for somebody who is not experienced."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration has all the features that are necessary."
"It is simple to transfer files."
"The solution is stable."
"SAP Process Orchestration is middleware where we are able to manage and interact with everything from a single location. One of the most beneficial areas is monitoring which is very easy because it is all in one place. There are many adapters added recently that can be used for new functionality. The solution is easy to operate and it is more mature than the cloud solution provided by SAP."
 

Cons

"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"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."
"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."
"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 must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It does not have all of the industry-standard solutions available in PO and it is not plug and play, so we have to do a lot of development."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"It requires some maintenance."
"The responsiveness of technical support needs to be improved."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"It is not a scalable solution for the cloud. I would not recommend this for the cloud."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"It's not an expensive solution."
"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."
"It is a very expensive solution. We only pay for the license."
"The cost of SAP products is quite high but the quality is really good."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
"The product is not a low-priced solution, but I can say that it is competitively priced in the market."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
