Cloudiway Migration Platform vs. Matillion

Cloudiway excels in comples cross-tenant microsoft 365 migrations, especially with coexistence needs during data merges. It's also ideal for Slack to teams and archive migrations. However it is less suited for small scale or one off migrations due to cost and the time it takes to configure.

Great: Need to query simpler APIs, or utilize well known services such as GSheets etc.? Matillion has got some of the best and easiest to use connectors out there. Not so great: Do you need have a competent CI/CD flow that you will be able to update / compare from Matillion as well as other sources at the same time? Good luck, you will need to be extra careful, as you might have to have a deeper dive into your servers Terminal each time you have a git conflict.

• It's useful for even not trained staff with all the sources available.
• Give end user the freedom to make new users in his own organization
• Integration with multiple cloud director sites (you can just open one site but can enter all the other sites from there too)

Incentivized

• The user interface of your data pipelines makes it easier for people who aren’t as techy as data engineers to observe what's going on.
• Customer support is quick, not always as efficient as you would want it to be, but still.
• Nice documentation available.

Incentivized

• minimal glitch
• minimal error
• minimal loading

• Matillion is brilliant at importing data -- it would be amazing to have more ways to export data, from emailed exports to API pushes.
• Any Python that takes more than a few lines of code requires an external server to run it. It would be great to have more integration (perhaps in a connected virtual environment) to easily integrate customized code.
• Troubleshooting server logs requires quite a bit of technical expertise. More human readable detailed error handling would be greatly appreciated.

With the current experience of Matillion, we are likely to renew with the current feature option but will also look for improvement in various areas including scalability and dependability. 1. Connectors: It offers various connectors option but isn't full proof which we will be looking forward as we grow. 2. Scalability: As usage increase, we want Matillion system to be more stable.

Perfect rating, cloudiway migration offers a clean interface, intutitive setup, and powerful automation tools. There is a slight learning curve but you get what you pay for. They really handle the problem of data migration well, and they have decent support/FAQ pages to guide you if you're stuck. Overall 10/10

We are able to bring on new resources and teach them how to use Matillion without having to invest a significant amount of time. We prefer looking for resources with any type of ETL skill-set and feel that they can learn Matillion without problem. In addition, the prebuilt objects cover more than 95% of our use cases and we do not have to build much from scratch.

Overall, I've found Matillion to be responsive and considerate. I feel like they value us as a customer even when I know they have customers who spend more on the product than we do. That speaks to a motive higher than money. They want to make a good product and a good experience for their customers. If I have any complaint, it's that support sometimes feels community-oriented. It isn't always immediately clear to me that my support requests are going to a support engineer and not to the community at large. Usually, though, after a bit of conversation, it's clear that Matillion is watching and responding. And responses are generally quick in coming.

I see Cloudiway is a great solution for those who want to migrate and transfer there data, especially sensitive and very important valuable data to data storage. It's just a flexible, cost-effective tool for any budget, depending on the company's understanding of how to work with. That's our case. Another option was own scripting or maintaining the end users in the backend. This costs to much time to maintain (scripting) and has a big change of a Security breach. It was not an option for us either way.

Fivetran offers a managed service and pre-configured schemas/models for data loading, which means much less administrative work for initial setup and ongoing maintenance. But it comes at a much higher price tag. So, knowing where your sweet spot is in the build vs. buy spectrum is essential to deciding which tool fits better. For the transformation part, dbt is purely (SQL-) code-based. So, it is mainly whether your developers prefer a GUI or code-based approach.

We're using Matillion on EC2 instances, and we have about 20 projects for our clients in the same instance. Sometimes, we're struggling to manage schedules for all projects because thread management is not visible, and we can't see the process at the instance level.

• Can be used from any where as no installation is required
• Can move all emails quickly without operational disruption
• No expenses for specialized training of my team

• Matillion has been the backbone of my company's analytical functionalities for 10+ years, so it has a good ROI.
• The price is ok for what our company built with it, but it starts to be less competitive if the tool is not used at its fullest.
