How Matillion Differs From Its Competitors

I have installed Matillion from the start. To deploy it in Google platform it took me 2 weeks of time as I was very new to the tool. Once the instance is available, to create project, GCP credentials and GIT setup, it may take a day. Finally creating a sample pipeline and to test it will be a …

Our initial build was METL (older version of Matillion). This meant we had to create an EC2 instance on AWS. This initial setup took maybe a few days. but once we spun up the mahine and got it all working, we connected Matillion to our data warehouse in a matter of minutes. The new DPC Matillion …

It took just a few hours to get set up with Matillion. Only in cases where we had to connect to data sources, in some cases, it took time as third parties had to white-list the IP address for Matillion to allow the connection. Overall setting up the instance, and setting up environment variables …

At the beginning of the ETL CDC process, it took us several working sessions with the teams to get all of the different components constructed in AWS, and then to find out it didn't meet our needs was a bit disappointing. With the CDC in Data Loader, though, we were up and running in a couple of …

Matillion is a good tool for integrating multiple clouds. Informatica has been a market standard for many years, it provides multiple capabilities for data governance, data quality, etc. However, Informatica is pretty expensive compared to Matillion. Also, Matillion is more user-friendly, and it is easier to collaborate; hence, Matillion is a better choice.

dbt is great for engineers and those comfortable with coding. Matillion is the low-code alternative with a huge emphasis on collaboration with ease. You don't need to checkout a branch, clone, pull, merge etc. in order to help your colleague with a data pipeline. The simple drag'n'drop design allows for easy collaboration and understanding.

Matillion was chosen by Schibsted due to the seamless integration with Snowflake. The ease of use and fast workflow have made it an essential tool in our setup, and with the option to integrate nearly every data source there is, plus the ease of use, it really gives a lot of bang for the buck.

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 be loaded. So development is just a matter of seconds when there are new tables to be loaded.

Matillion ran circles around Stitch and Striim both in functionality, setup, and performance. There was no real comparison. Fivetran massively outperforms Matillion in pretty much every facet of the production from setup, maintenance, visibility, and usability. It already has the ability to connect any data source to a destination regardless of database type. Why we chose Matillion over Fivetran is that, for our current needs, Matillion provides us with the functionality that we need and a much more competitive price for a smaller company.

I tried to use several opensource tools before Matillion. They were not bad, but I spent a ton of time maintaining the system, and debugging why things wouldn't work. It also seemed like everything needed a hack to get it working properly. With Matillion, it just works outside of the box, and they have a lot of good documentation explaining how to set it up and use it.

When compared with other technologies , Matillion was cost effective , more scalable and flexible in terms of complexity and components. The licensing cost of Matillion was also less and the flexibility with components helps in implementing complex business logics. The training cost of Matillion is also less and we can start with implementation in Matillion quite quickly.

The out of the box connectors for various data sources especially for Salesforce is the main reason we chose Matillion in terms of source connectivity.
Aside connectors, Matillion provides some unique features like Shared jobs, Grid variables, etc that are very helpful in quick development.
