High efficiency, performs well, and price well

The decision to use Matillion ETL depends on the specific requirements. If the requirements can be met without Matillion ETL in a short amount of time, then using it would be unnecessary. However, if dealing with large data sets and frequent data migrations to and from the cloud, then Matillion ETL would be a suitable choice. I have a lot of experience in this field of data and I was able to achieve results with Matillion ETL that I was not able to with the traditional approach. The solution is helpful for large amounts of data. I rate Matillion ETL an eight out of ten.

Great automation and strong workflows useful for integration

The initial setup is quite straightforward. When connecting Workato with your on-premises system, you have to install the Workato agent on your network. It was not complex but a long process to configure and settle. Workato has not gone live for us yet, so only the developers are currently using it. But in terms of users, we will have close to 250 and maybe 30 additional direct users. We are seeing a lot of different use cases where we can add new recipes because we started small, and there are many different areas where we can implement Workato for automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."

"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."

"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."

"It's been able to do everything we require."

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

"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."

"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"

"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."

More Matillion ETL pros

"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."

"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."

"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."

"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."

"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."

Cons

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

"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."

"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."

"The tool's lineage is very weak."

"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."

"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."

"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."

More Matillion ETL cons

"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."

"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."

"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."

"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."

"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."

"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"Matillion ETL is expensive."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."

"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."

"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

"Speaking about price, I would say that it's market-related. Also, there are costs in addition to the standard license fees since different add-ons depend on what you require."

"Workato is an expensive solution."

"On a scale of one to ten, the pricing is around a six. We have a consumption model and the pricing is higher. If you are using any kind of ML-based approach, machine learning, or some advanced analytics, you may have to pay more."
