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.

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

"The product has a good user interface."

"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."

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

"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."

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

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

"The product's initial setup phase was easy."

More Matillion ETL pros

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

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

Cons

"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."

"Matillion ETL should include more enhanced capabilities for extracting data from the SAP systems."

"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."

"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."

"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."

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

More Matillion ETL cons

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

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

"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."

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

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

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

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"The product must improve its pricing."

"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 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."

"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."

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

"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."

More Matillion ETL pricing and cost advice

"Workato is an expensive solution."

"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."

"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."
