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.

Its ability to transform and transport data is extremely valuable

We use SSIS for data extraction, transformation, and loading processes. This includes extracting data from various sources like Oracle and SQL Server, and then transforming it for use in reporting tools like Power BI dashboards. While we haven't directly migrated data between databases using SSIS…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."

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

"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 the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python."

"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."

"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."

More Matillion ETL pros

"The performance and stability are good."

"Like most Microsoft products, SSIS is user-friendly and easy to use."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that it can handle real complex transformations."

"The performance is better than doing it in some alternative ways. We don't have to worry about so much manual work."

"The most valuable feature of SSIS is that you can take data from other servers which are not MS SQL Server or Oracle."

"The ability of SSIS to transform and transport data is extremely valuable to me. It allows for intelligent extraction and manipulation of data during the process. Improved error handling would enhance ETL processes further. I haven't directly utilized the data flow components but they seem capable of supporting complex data integration needs."

"The product's deployment phase is easy."

"It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."

"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."

"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."

"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."

"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."

"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."

"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."

"It needs integration with more data sources."

More Matillion ETL cons

"We would like the solution to be expanded so that it is available for other platforms than just Microsoft."

"We'd like them to develop data exploration more."

"We purchase an add on called task factory primarily to allow bulk delete, update and upsert capability. I'd like to see this be part of the standard package."

"SSIS is stable, but extensive ETL data processing can have some performance issues."

"SSIS sometimes hangs, and there are some problems with servers going down after they've been patched."

"We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."

"Involving a data lake or data engineering aspects would be useful. While it is there, we need more features included."

"Options for scaling could be improved."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."

"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."

"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."

"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."

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

"Depending on the arrangement that a certain company has with Microsoft, it may supply the permanent license that is included in the SQL server license, or it may be a time-bound license if it is a partner license or other enterprise license."

"This solution is a free of charge addition to our SQL licence. However, the only way this tool can be utilized is as a feature of the SQL licence, which may make it unattractive to organizations who don't wish to purchase the wider-ranging licence."

"This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."

"It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."

"I'm not involved in licensing details, but SSIS provides value to our organization by simplifying data management tasks."

"SSIS' licensing is a little high, but it gives good value for money."

"Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."

"The solution comes free of cost."
