Used for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks
I use Matillion ETL for wrangling or transforming data from sources like S3 and Databricks The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation. Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for…
Karthik Rajamani - PeerSpot reviewer
Integrates with different enterprise systems and enables us to easily build data pipelines without knowing how to code
There are a few things that can be better. We create pipelines or jobs in StreamSets Control Hub. It is a great feature, but if there is a way to have a folder structure or organize the pipelines and jobs in Control Hub, it would be great. I submitted a ticket for this some time back. There are certain features that are only available at certain stages. For example, HTTP Client has some great features when it is used as a processor, but those features are not available in HTTP Client as a destination. There could be some improvements on the group side. Currently, if I want to know which users are a part of certain groups, it is not straightforward to see. You have to go to each and every user and check the groups he or she is a part of. They could improve it in that direction. Currently, we have to put in a manual effort. In case something goes wrong, we have to go to each and every user account to check whether he or she is a part of a certain group or not.
