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.

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 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 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."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"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."
"It’s stable and straightforward."
"Data discovery is very simple."
"The two features that I have found most valuable are its ability to customize the dashboards when it comes to the evaluation. The second feature is its ability to handle a large amount of data, which is also something very unique about it."
"The flexibility, data preparation, and data wrangling abilities of the platform are exceptional."
"From a scalability standpoint, I would say it's pretty fantastic."
"The ability to connect to many different data sources is one of the key features. The other would then be the different ways in which that data can be visualized."
"We particularly like the data angling feature of this solution. This gives us the ability to work on data transformations, join files, and carry out other data preparation tasks all in a single tool."
"Spotfire is excellent for scientific applications, especially because of its integration with RNG."
 

Cons

"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"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."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"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."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"We encountered difficulties connecting the special data sets, as the post data set did not contain any shared columns, making it difficult to establish a connection between the data sets."
"The solution might be generic."
"The way TIBCO Spotfire is designed, in my opinion, is the reason why it lags a bit, especially compared to other BI tools like Qlik."
"The Text Area feature needs to be more user-friendly. It is a little clunky to use, and it is difficult to consistently format text."
"When you do the data loading, it is slow."
"I would like to see the visualization library in this solution expanded, so that I can increase what I can offer to our clients."
"Print capability and trigger-based events."
"The initial setup can be difficult."
 

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."
"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."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"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 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 solution is affordable one."
"The ROI is nearly impossible to calculate."
"I would describe TIBCO Spotfire as an averagely-priced product."
"The Tibco sales teams have been very difficult to work with - ignoring requests, misrepresenting level of demand, etc."
"The pricing seems competitive and reasonable. The value delivered by the product far exceeds the cost."
"The cost of TIBCO Spotfire could improve. It should be less expensive. It's the most expensive visualization tool in our company."
"This product carries a monthly licensing charge, with the amount depending on the features that are to be included. This costs also covers the use of technical support."
"In comparison to other solutions such as IBM Cognos, TIBCO Spotfire is more affordable."
