    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.

    ShareGate is well suited for SharePoint on-prem to on prem site migrations, on-prem site to online SharePoint migrations, file share migrations to SharePoint online. Moving power and automating workflows using the ShareGate tool is less appropriate.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    It is a powerful tool for copying files along with their associated metadata and version history. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and supports workflow migrations. However, it may not be ideal for non-technical users. Currently, it does not support Power Platform workflow migrations and lacks a pause function—offering only start or stop options during migration.

    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.

    Overall, I am very satisfied with the ShareGate tool, which is used effectively for migration purposes, not only to migrate the contents from SharePoint to SharePoint but also to the contents from file share to SharePoint. This tool helps us review the warnings/errors from the migrations quickly and helps us identify what caused the errors. I hope the ShareGate product team will consider migration of power automated workflows using this tool in future releases.

    Performance

    In most cases, ShareGate performs well—pages load quickly, and reports are generated in a reasonable timeframe, even for moderately complex environments. Its interface is responsive, and it handles standard migrations and administrative tasks efficiently. However, performance can slow down during very large migrations or when processing high volumes of data, especially if the source or destination environments are heavily customized

    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.

    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.

    Cost prohibitive since it's based on size migrated and rather expensive. However, the feature-set is VERY good and has some things ShareGate doesn't.

    Scalability

    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.

    ShareGate scales well across departments and sites, supporting large migrations and tenant moves with strong Microsoft 365 integration. However, it lacks advanced automation, Power Platform support, and pause/resume functionality, which can limit its effectiveness in highly complex or enterprise-scale environments.

    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.

    • Share gate has saved my colleagues and I hundreds of hours of migration headaches
    • Share Gates reporting tools as an administrator make my job very very simple.
    • The ROI could be measured alone in man hours saved migrating environments. That alone has probably paid for the licensing cost

    Screenshot of the ShareGate migration tool – from migration to content management, it is used to migrate to Microsoft 365, move channels in Teams, and merge tenants.Screenshot of the Permissions Matrix Report used to validate, monitor and manage permissions for internal and external users. It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.Screenshot of a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
