Offers power developers the tooling they need
I am not the end user of this solution. I am not close enough to it because I manage the platform that it runs against. The end users who use the Toad tool come against the database that my team manages, so it is hard for me to provide any area for improvement when it comes to the Toad tool. However, in the administration case, cost is a significant issue. The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"The best thing about it is its automation features."
"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."
"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."
"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."
"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."
"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."
"We love it."
"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."
 

Cons

"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."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"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."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."
"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."
"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."
"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."
"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."
"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product must improve its pricing."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"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."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"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 cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The Mac licenses are expensive, costing 1,600 dollars each. This is much higher than for the Windows version. I maintain a very limited number of licenses due to this cost."
"The cost of this product is reasonable."
"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."
