Data Architect at Old Mutual Life Assurance Company (South Africa) Limited
Very intuitive interface, compatible with many data warehouses, with infinite scalability
Pros and Cons
- "Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
- "I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
What is our primary use case?
It is cloud native and designed to run on cloud warehouses. There is compatibility with many of the cloud data warehouses, as well as Snowflake, and any SQL data warehouse. It is not compatible with other ETL products.
What is most valuable?
The interface is very intuitive.
What needs improvement?
I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product. However, I think they have done a very good job of incorporating a lot of different data sources.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been working with Matillion ETL for four years now.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
I have found that Matillion ETL is infinitely scalable.

Data analyst at a tech services company with 51-200 employees
Helps in the implementation of Snowflake but lineage is weak
Pros and Cons
- "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."
- "The tool's lineage is very weak."
What is our primary use case?
The tool's primary use case is implementing Snowflake, including building a data warehouse atop our source systems and facilitating data exchange with customers and suppliers utilizing Snowflake.
What is most valuable?
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. Consequently, presenting data becomes more straightforward, and customer interactions involve no copying or pasting, streamlining the exchange process.
With Matillion ETL, we read data from different warehouse source systems. We create a unified version of the data in the data warehouse using the ETL functionality. Mapping tables address the challenges of different source systems, ensuring the data is at the correct level of detail. It is very strong and comes with much functionality, including monitoring.
What needs improvement?
The tool's lineage is very weak.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using the product for three and a half years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
The tool is stable.
How are customer service and support?
I haven't contacted the technical team yet.
What about the implementation team?
Matillion ETL's deployment can be done in-house.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
Matillion ETL is expensive.
What other advice do I have?
The tool seems to reduce complexity rather than boost performance. The overall process remains somewhat intricate. I don't think we've observed any performance improvements using my team. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.

Senior Infrastructure Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees
It is able data sync reliably and ensures that we are compliant with our legal requirements
Pros and Cons
- "It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
- "It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
- "Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
What is our primary use case?
We use it to migrate data from in-house databases and other data sources into Amazon Redshift.
How has it helped my organization?
- It is able data sync reliably.
- It ensures that we are compliant with our legal requirements.
What is most valuable?
- It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical.
- It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services.
What needs improvement?
- It could have better integrations with other databases and other services.
- I would like to have more customization available.
- Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.
For how long have I used the solution?
One to three years.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
It is very stable. We have not had to deal with many issues.
It is running at almost 100% CPU for most of the night. So, it is fairly stressed.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
It scales okay. It takes up a good amount of computing resources while it is running, but we wouldn't have too much trouble giving it a little more if it needed it. We have a lot of data, therefore it is hard for me to guess how much we send through it.
How is customer service and technical support?
I haven't personally dealt with the support.
How was the initial setup?
The integrations with a lot of the AWS tools, services, and databases are very convenient.
It works with DynamoDB, Redshift, Salesforce, and Aurora databases. It has good integrations with all of these.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
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.
It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We also evaluated Xplenty.
We chose Xplenty because we wanted to able to have the data live in our VPC, through our network, and not exit our network. Also, the cost was good.
What other advice do I have?
It does the things that it does fairly well, but it would be nice to have some more features, like custom jobs.
Try different tools as much as you can. Make sure the different data that you are trying to sync fits in with the integration the tool provides (or at least most of them). Otherwise, you are going to be paying a lot for not using most of its features.

BI Team Lead (Warehouse) at a tech services company with 1,001-5,000 employees
One of the valuable features is a way to present the ETL process to non-technical observers.
What is most valuable?
Ease of use and a great way to present the ETL process to non-technical observers.
How has it helped my organization?
It has enabled building a data warehouse within three months from the ground up to support WMS reporting.
What needs improvement?
It would be great to have the ability to move windows around to dock in different locations/external windows.
This would involve an ability to physically pin, or move the windows within Matillion (for Redshift).
I know that they can be resized to some extent – but it would be great to collapse the windows, or move them -- similar to moving a tab from a browser so that it's separate from the main GUI.
For how long have I used the solution?
We have been using this solution for six months.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
We have not encountered any stability issues.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
We have not encountered any scalability issues.
How are customer service and technical support?
Matillion's support is great. They are fast to respond, always helpful, and they have great documentation. This includes articles, training videos, and regular software update building on customer feature requests. I would give the support a rating of 10/10.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I am not aware of any previous solution.
How was the initial setup?
The setup was straightforward. The user interface is very intuitive and purchasing from the marketplace was simple.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
If you are unsure, just send Matillion a quick email, and they’ll get back in touch to help.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
We did not evaluate any other options.
What other advice do I have?
Just go ahead and take advantage of the initial free period for evaluation. The on-demand price is also very competitive.
