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.

BI Analyst DW Architect at a mining and metals company with 10,001+ employees

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."

"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 product is quite stable and can handle complex data integration tasks well."

"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."

"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."

"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."

More Matillion ETL pros

"I found the initial setup very easy."

"I like the data vault implementations."

"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."

"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."

"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."

"RED generates comprehensive documentation and regenerates it as quickly as things changes, but it also provides impact documentation."

More WhereScape RED pros

Cons

"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."

"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."

"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."

"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."

"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 product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."

"The tool's lineage is very weak."

More Matillion ETL cons

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"Technical support isn't the best."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

"Customization could be better."

"The ability to execute SSIS projects within WhereScape would be nice because we have a lot of packages that are too cumbersome to recreate."

More WhereScape RED cons

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."

"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 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."

"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."

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."

"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."

"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."
