Considered Both Products
Matillion
Chose Matillion
Matillion provided much more flexibility than the other products we tested, at a much lower price point. Other products, in my view, had a cleaner/simpler UI but I also felt that they offered much less functionality. A key design pattern we had to deliver was to perform delta …
Chose Matillion
Matillion is much easier to set up and easier to work for the team. Offers a lot more connections which are easier to set up. Environment variables make it easy to set up once and job creation is easy. We use Metadata tables to just loop through the list of tables that need to …
Chose Matillion
If you take the time to build your own with Matillion, you will end up with a vastly better solution than Stitch and Fivetran. We ran Stitch and Fivetran side by side connected from our source DB to both RedShift and Snowflake and documented the performance results as well as …
Chose Matillion
Matillion is fully designed for AWS Cloud products, and aligned with AWS Redshift data integration perfectly.
Chose Matillion
Matillion is the best alternative for on-premise ETL tools if you are looking for a cloud-only solution. None of the tools we evaluated provide same features offered by Matillion. Extensive technical documentation is available on the website which makes development easy and …
Chose Matillion
1. Cloud Solution
2. Easy to create and manage ELT pipelines.
3. Works great with redshift databases.
Chose Matillion
Generally, Matillion is much easier to get up and running, quicker to deliver value and returns on your ELT process, and simpler to maintain. The speed to get data connections and start pulling data is so quick that you can focus on the transformations and business rules …
Chose Matillion
Matillion is easier to set up and use. Works well for cloud data warehouses. Falls short when legacy application connectors are required, this is where Talend and Informatica have the upper hand.
Chose Matillion
In this company, we went through review of other products that work with Redshift. We have used Talend as the previous ETL tool.
Chose Matillion
Talend has a much steeper learning curve. SnapLogic was too expensive but had the best set of features. We did not try Pentaho but that was next on our list.
Chose Matillion
Being a fairly new player in the market, Matillion is coming up against some well-established names such as Pentaho and Talend. The primary benefit for our use case was the fact that Matillion is built specifically for Amazon Redshift. While Pentaho and Talend are more mature …
Chose Matillion
We evaluated Fivetran, TreasureData, StitchData and few other options. But only with Matillion did we have the option of a cloud-based ETL solution that we were able to host within the APAC-Sydney region to ensure our data stays within our region.

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.

This tool fits all kinds of organizations and helps to integrate data between many applications. We can use this tool as data integration is a key feature for all organizations. It is also available in the cloud, which makes the integration more seamless. The firm can opt for the required tools when there are no data integration needs.

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.

  • Talend Data Integration allows us to quickly build data integrations without a tremendous amount of custom coding (some Java and JavaScript knowledge is still required).
  • I like the UI and it's very intuitive. Jobs are visual, allowing the team members to see the flow of the data, without having to read through the Java code that is generated.
  • Dynamically table creation from new source.

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.

  • Pricing for sure can be the area for improvement.
  • Real time processing is slow as compared to other tools like Abinitio.
  • While developing batches, it crashes a lot. It may be the issue with me, but I wanted to highlight it.

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.

We use Talend Data Integration day in and day out. It is the best and easiest tool to jump on to and use. We can build a basic integration super-fast. We could build basic integrations as fast as within the hour. It is also easy to build transformations and use Java to perform some operations.

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.

Good support, specially when it relates to PROD environment. The support team has access to the product development team. Things are internally escalated to development team if there is a bug encountered. This helps the customer to get quick fix or patch designed for problem exceptions. I have also seen support showing their willingness to help develop custom connector for a newly available cloud based big data solution

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.

In comparison with the other ETLs I used, Talend is more flexible than Data Services (where you cannot create complex commands). It is similar to Datastage speaking about commands and interfaces. It is more user-friendly than ODI, which has a metadata point of view on its own, while Talend is more classic. It has both on-prem and cloud approaches, while Matillion is only cloud-based.

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.
