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

he 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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product has a good user interface."

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

"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."

"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's been able to do everything we require."

"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."

"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."

More Matillion ETL pros

"The reporting on the solution is perfect. I didn't expect to see reporting features, but they are great."

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

"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is simple to use and it offers a flexible custom script task."

"There are many good features in this solution including the data fields, database integration, support for SQL views, and the lookups for matching information."

"You can get data from any data source with SSIS and dump it to any outside source. It is helpful. Getting, extracting, converting, and dumping data doesn't require much effort because we can do everything in the user interface. You drag and drop, then give the required input. It's intuitive."

"The most valuable thing is that it is easy to connect with Microsoft tools. In Europe, particularly in France, a lot of companies use Excel, SQL Server, and other Microsoft tools, and it is easier to connect SSIS with Microsoft tools than other products."

"The most important features are it works well and provides self-service BI."

"It is easy to set up the solution."

More SSIS pros

Cons

"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."

"It needs integration with more data sources."

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

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

"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."

"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."

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."

More Matillion ETL cons

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

"You have to write push down join & lookup SQL to the database yourself via stored procedures or use of the SQL Task to get very high performance. That said, this is a common complaint for nearly all ETL tools on the market and those that offer an alternative such as Informatica offer them at a very expensive add-on price."

"The high prices attached to the product can be an area of concern where improvements are required."

"A change in the metadata source cripples the whole ETL process, requiring each module to be manually reopened."

"Improvement as per customer requirements."

"I would like to see better integration with Power BI."

"SSIS is cumbersome despite its drag-and-drop functionality. For example, let's say I have 50 tables with 30 columns. You need to set a data type for each column and table. That's around 1,500 objects. It gets unwieldy adding validation for every column. Previously, SSIS automatically detected the data type, but I think they removed this feature. It would automatically detect if it's an integer, primary key, or foreign key column. You had fewer problems building the model."

"The solution could improve on integrating with other types of data sources."

More SSIS cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."

"The product must improve its pricing."

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

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

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

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

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

"The solution is economical. You don't have to worry about the pricing as long as you're installing both services on the same server."

"All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

"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."

"We have an enterprise license for this solution."

"Our license with SSIS is annual."

"The solution is available at a lesser price than that of Informatica."
