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

"The product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"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."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"I like the solution's policies, transformation, mediation, and routing features."
"Currently, we're using this solution for the integration server which helps us to integrate with the mainframe."
"It’s fairly easy to view, move, and mange access across different components. Different component types are categorized and can be viewed in a web based administration console."
"The solution has a very comprehensive and versatile set of connectors. I've been able to utilize it for multiple, different mechanisms. We do a lot of SaaS and we do have IoT devices and the solution is comprehensive in those areas."
"Clients choose webMethods.io API for its intuitive interface, promoting seamless interaction and quick communication between systems."
"There's hardware, software and application integration, providing hosting flexibility."
"From a user perspective, the feature which I like the most about Integration Server is its designer."
"With webMethods, the creation of servers and the utilization of Trading Networks facilitate B2B integration. It resolves any related issues effectively."
 

Cons

"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"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."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"Scalability and connectors to different cloud applications is lacking."
"The configuring of the JWT token would be improved as it is a confusing process. We require more information on this part of the solution."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"I am not satisfied with the solution because it takes too much effort to migrate and add new information. The migration could be easier."
"Rapid application development has to be considered, especially for UI, where user interference is crucial."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 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."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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."
"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 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."
"I would like to see better pricing for the license."
"The price of webMethods Integration Server isn't that high from an enterprise context, but open-source ESB solutions will always be the cheapest."
"webMethods Integration Server is expensive, and there's no fixed price on it because it has a point pricing model. You can negotiate, which makes it interesting."
"The pricing is a yearly license."
"It's a good deal for the money that we pay."
"Its cost depends on the use cases."
"Some who consider this solution often avoid it due to its high price."
"Currently, the licensing solution for this product is pretty straightforward. The way that Software AG has moved in their licensing agreements is very understandable. It is very easy for you to see where things land. Like most vendors today, they are transaction based. Therefore, just having a good understanding of how many transactions that you are doing a year would be very wise. Luckily, there are opportunities to work with the vendor to get a good understanding of how many transactions you have and what is the right limit for you to fall under."
