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.

Automates manual activities and has helpful documentation that allows users to self-study

What could be improved in SnapLogic is that it was not capable in terms of processing a large number of datasets, but at that point, SnapLogic was evolving. It didn't give a lot of Snaps. I heard recently there are a lot of Snaps getting added and the solution was being enhanced, particularly to connect different data sources. When I was working with SnapLogic six months to one year back, I faced the issue of it not being capable of handling a huge volume of datasets or didn't have much of Snaps, and that was the drawback. If there is any large number of data sets, that's based on or depends on your configuration. If it is a huge volume of data, other traditional ETL tools such as Informatica and Talend can process millions and billions of records, while in SnapLogic, the Snaplex fails or it returns an error in terms of processing that huge volume of data. Informatica, Talend, or any other ETL tool can run for hours in terms of jobs, while SnapLogic jobs fail when the threshold is reached. SnapLogic isn't able to withstand processing, but I don't know if that's still an issue at present, because the solution is getting enhanced and it's been more than six months to one year since I last worked with SnapLogic. There are now a lot of Snaps getting added to the solution, and if it can overcome the limitations I mentioned, SnapLogic could be the go-to tool because currently, it's not being used as much in organizations. It's being used comparatively less compared to other retail tools.

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."

"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."

"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."

"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."

"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."

"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."

"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."

"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."

More Matillion ETL pros

"The solutions ability to connect "snaps" or components to the graphic user interface is very intuitive, prevents errors, and makes implementations easy."

"The API architecture makes it easy for orchestration."

"SnapLogic is an IPA tool that leverages a low code environment to connect to multiple sources, extract data, and store it in Azure data lake."

"The solution is easy to implement and easy to use. It's basically just drag and drop."

"You can use other languages, such as Python, and easily connect to other systems."

"The vendor handles the maintenance of the solution"

"The initial setup is very straightforward."

"I found SnapLogic valuable and what I found most valuable about it was its ETL feature. I also found its automation feature valuable. It can be used for automating manual activities. It can be used as a middleware for certain transactional data processing and minimal datasets and ETL activities."

More SnapLogic pros

Cons

"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."

"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."

"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."

"The tool's lineage is very weak."

"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 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."

More Matillion ETL cons

"We'd like zero downtime in the future."

"SnapLogic sits somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t offer enough easy canned integrations for its users like some of the easier to use integration apps."

"SnapLogic doesn't provide any on-premises software, so users have only cloud-based software to use."

"They should expand in terms of features for SaaS-based market requirements in different sectors."

"We'd like there to be more ways for users to get more comfortable and have more experience with the solution to make it easier to use."

"One area for improvement in SnapLogic is the transparency in the flow of data. It needs to have more transparency. Right now, users only have a preview option at the end of any job flow, so at the end of any Snap Pack, there is a data preview option that lets you review the data and see how it's moving. What would make the solution better is more debugging and more access to change data from the preview panel or more functionality in terms of the preview option."

"SnapLogic should have some inbuilt protocol mechanism in order to speed up."

"Ultra Pipelines provides real-time ingestion but it needs some adjustment."

More SnapLogic cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."

"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."

"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."

"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."

"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."

"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 prices needs to be lower."

"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

"The license model is based on consumption."

"By scaling the solution incrementally the cost is controlled and more beneficial to the client."

"When comparing it with solutions like Apigee or MuleSoft, it still offers better value."

"From the ROI perspective, the price is extremely high"

"The cost with SnapLogic is an annual license and better than Informatica."

"SnapLogic is not expensive. It's reasonably priced."

"SnapLogic's price is high compared to the other tools available in the market."

"I used the free trial."
