User Testimonials
	Maia by Matillion
Likelihood to Recommend	Matillion 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Pros	Matillion 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 Verified User Read full review
Cons	Matillion 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Matillion 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	Matillion 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. Dan Zielinski Senior Database Architect Read full review
Support Rating	Matillion 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.

Alternatives Considered	Matillion 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
Scalability	Matillion 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.

Return on Investment	Matillion 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. Incentivized Verified User Read full review
