IBM StreamSets is well suited for streaming data, close to real time data aggregations use cases. Comes with multiple built in connectors and transformations that reduces the development effort and time. There are connectors for majority of the cloud providers. They also have connectors for the destinations which include a lot of the new era of databases.

In a fast-growing startup-like environment, you’d want a graphical user interface representation of all your data work instead of using tools like Airflow. It’s good to deal with many ad hoc tasks, including in-house and external APIs, data lakes, and data warehouses. It’s also cheaper.

  • 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.

Usability
IBM
I gave this rating because of the out of the box connectors that comes with IBM StreamSets. There are connectors for most of the sources as well as for the destinations. This includes both RDBMS as well unstructured data sources. The areas where IBM StreamSets have challenges is trouble shooting. The error message that is provided is not straightforward. Since it uses Java on the backend the error message is always cryptic. Memory usage is also a hit or miss. Need some specific server tunning activities to optimize the tool.

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.

StreamSets is a one-stop solution to design Data engineering Pipelines and doesn't require deep Programming knowledge, It's so user-friendly that anyone in Team can contribute to the Idea of pipeline design. In Hadoop One has to be programming proficient to use its various components like Hive, HDFS, Kafka, etc but in StreamSets all these stages are built-in and ready to use with minor configuration.

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.

  • 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.
