The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running. Its pricing model is different from the traditional pricing models of Talend or Informatica. The solution was not expensive for my use case. I rate the solution’s pricing an eight out of ten.
The pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, a standard edition and then business critical of different editions. Each of those has a different cost per unit, which is Italian cost. It is like a utility model model. 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. So, the customer only pays for the runtime, not for idle time. So, the unit cost includes everything, even any additional costs.
We pay $5.40 per EC2 running hour, and we can reduce costs by stopping and starting the EC2 instances strategically. For instance, in our production environment, we run it for sixteen hours a day, while in our data environment, it's around ten to eleven hours a day, Monday to Friday. This approach allows us to save significantly on costs since we're billed per EC2 running hour. 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 current pricing is based on consumption. So when you spin up a virtual machine, the size and type of the machine will determine the hosting cost by the provider, like Azure. Before considering the licensing cost of Matillion itself, you need to consider the cost of hosting the virtual machine, which is an additional cost. Matillion charges one credit per hour for each virtual CPU that the VM is using. So if you choose an 8-VCPU virtual machine and run it for 24 hours a day, the cost can add up quickly. The price per credit varies depending on your tier, but I think it's around $3.50 per credit for the top tier of Matillion and $2 per credit for the lowest tier. If you Google Matillion pricing, you can quickly find the dollar amounts. But you can manage these costs by shutting down your instance when you're not using it with an automated process.

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. I would not call it cheap anymore, but it is certainly competitive.

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 plugs into the AWS marketplace. It's very easy to manage that cost. And if you don't want to use it for a while, you just switch off the EC2 instance and you're not getting billed.

Purchasing this solution through the AWS Marketplace was quick and easy. 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 AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs.

You probably don't even need to reach out to the company sometimes to purchase it. You can go to the AWS Marketplace. It's very easy to spin up, and the configuration is also easy. It spins up in your own AWS account. The only way you can get the product now is via the AWS Marketplace. Their pricing is simple. They charge you by the hour. Whatever EC2 instance time that you have been running it for, that's what it's going to charge you for. The licensing is not based off of the per user or per server. They are going by the type of instance you spin up and how long you've been running it, so easy peasy.
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.

Regardless of the quantity of your data, the size of your cluster, or variety of source systems, the price of Matillion is the same. The only variable that changes what you pay Matillion is the size of your data engineering team. * If your team is just one or two people, then you can just use the [t2.medium @ $1.37/hr] * If you have a bigger team, you will need [m4.large @ $2.74/hr] or even [m4.xlarge @ $5.48/hr]. As soon as you can, lock in the yearly discounted price with Matillion, as your level of support availability will increase.
Matillion ETL is a powerful tool for extracting, transforming, and loading large amounts of data from various sources into cloud data warehouses like Snowflake. Its ability to load data dynamically and efficiently using metadata is a standout feature, as is its open-source ETL with good performance and high efficiency.
The solution has a graphical interface for jobs, is easily adjustable and extensible, and allows for scheduling and error reporting. Matillion ETL has helped...

The tool is neither cheap nor expensive. It is moderately expensive. The product must improve its pricing.

The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable.
It's not the cheapest. But, in case you are a large-scale organization, it is not going to break the bank for sure.
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. I would not call it cheap anymore, but it is certainly competitive.
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.

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.
It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive. The prices needs to be lower.
