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.

An integration platform that enables you to automate tasks by connecting apps and services
Follow best practices,engage in their professional services to help build your messaging system and to be PR have some PR emphasis and and blue Bluegreen deployment You could take half your your clusters out, upgrade them, and put them back in so you have a quick callback. And also patch quarterly, we got we got downbound. And and at that point, it's a little hard to get into the cycle when you're releasing software every every week, and you're trying to, go through an upgrade seven fifty servers, it's a little hard to get into the upgrade flow when when you're running that tight. I rate the overall solution an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"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."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The connectivity that the tool provides, along with the functionalities needed for our company's business, are some of the beneficial aspects of the product."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"The ease of mapping... is the single largest feature. It gives us the ability to craft anything. A lot of single-purpose technologies, like Mirth, are good for healthcare messages, but we use webMethods not only for healthcare messages but for other business-related purposes, like integrations to Salesforce or integrations to Office 365. It's multi-purpose nature is very strong."
"The solution is scalable."
"It's very flexible and a good platform to use."
"It has a good integration server, designer, and a very good API portal."
"Most of the work in our organization can be more easily done using the tool."
"Application integration, business process integration, and B2B partner integration are valuable. But among these, I feel B2B partner integration is the most valuable. This module integrates two business partners and exchanges data through electronic data interchange messages in the form of specific standards, without any manual process needed."
 

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."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"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 tool's lineage is very weak."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"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 improvement needed is related to the model's position. As of now, it seems to be more of a conceptual idea rather than a widely implemented solution. For how long"
"Need to see more API portal features like monetizing APIs and private cloud readiness."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"The deployment should be simplified."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"There are things that could be improved with the webMethods API gateway. One thing is that it's too attached to the integration service and we'd like it to be a little bit more independent. We would like for them to separate operations so that it doesn't rely on the bulky integration server and so that it can be used everywhere."
"With respect to the API gateway, the runtime component, the stability after a new release is something that can be improved."
"The price has room for improvement."
 

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."
"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."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"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 is expensive."
"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."
"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 price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"I am not involved in the licensing side of things."
"Initialy good pricing and good, if it comes to Enterprise license agreements."
"Pricing is the number-one downfall. It's too expensive. They could make more money by dropping the price in half and getting more customers. It's the best product there is, but it's too expensive."
"I don’t have much idea about prices, but webMethods API Portal is not something cheaper."
"webMethods Trading Networks is a bit costly compared to others solutions."
"Always plan five years ahead and don’t jeopardize the quality of your project by dropping items from the bill of materials."
"I do think webMethods is coming under increasing pressure when it comes to their price-to-feature value proposition. It's probably the single biggest strategic risk they have. They're very expensive in their industry. They've been raising the price recently, especially when compared with their competitors."
