Within 2-3 weeks from starting Matillion, we had our first simple pipeline in production: extracting data from our operational database and putting it into data warehouse.

Our initial POC demonstrated that migrating to Matillion was the logical next step for our organization. Our expectation had been six months to migrate our production loads from legacy tooling to Matillion. We were able to migrate complex production workflows, validate the result, and promote the Matillion generated artifacts in less than two months. Processing time for each workflow was cut from three days to a few hours. The productivity gains were stunning. Team members have been freed to focus on deeper and more valuable work as a direct result of our implementation.

Used the trial edition initially and was able to set up an ETL process for production, which then started populating real reports in 6 weeks. Previous process was quite manual, a combination of Alteryx and Excel which took a lot of time.

After just two months we had complex processes running on a production environment. And now after six months, we became really proficient users of Matillion which are also taking care of optimization improvements and not just a development.

The learning curve for Matillion is relatively low. It is a great product and allows you to draw out a data flow diagram. Within 6 months, I was becoming fluent and efficient with using Matillion to collect and transform data into our Data Warehouse.

We got Matillion from the AWS marketplace, and we got up and running within less than a week. Starting the server was simple, then we had to do a bit of configuration and integrations with our servers adding the credentials, git repos etc. The experience was really good as Matillion blends perfectly within the AWS ecosystem.

We were able to develop the components in Matillion in a span of two months. We had a newly formed team of 3 people with almost no experience with Matillion. Once we are out of initial challenges in understanding the interface, it was almost nonstop for us with no interruptions and we were able to share jobs and schedule to build a lot of required features.

Matillion was already implemented at our company and any time requirements to learn the tool was based on my ability to translate my previous ETL coding experience into Matillion's structure. Our team inherited an existing ETL process built-in Matillion and were able to add/modify/delete new objects and components within several weeks of having access to Matillion. It was necessary to understand the business rules prior to making any changes, but the tool itself is very intuitive.

We were able to get up and running very quickly. This is really Matillion's strength. Once we got past the peculiarities of setting up our environment, we could connect to data sources right away and ingest data into our data lake. Putting on more pieces after that was easy.

We tested Matillion for about two weeks. By the time we were done testing, we were writing transformations. At that point, we were extremely comfortable with the tool, and we successfully migrated all of our existing code over to Matillion in a few weeks. The learning curve for Matillion is shallow.

Our entry level Data Engineers don't need any hand holding with this tool. A very quick demonstration is generally all that is required. After that, the tool is intuitive enough that even a beginner can use it.

It has been an ongoing learning curve for a year. The basics are simple to pick up but after that, you have to turn to support for answers as there is nothing on the web. Support can take days to get an answer after emails are sent back & forth to gather the information required to answer your questions.

With the help of the support team, we had a proof of concept up and running in an afternoon. Since Matillion comes as an AWS package, there was no configuration needed to get the instance spun up, which was fantastic. Connecting to data sources that require their own JDBC drivers took as much as an hour, but settings are portable, so this was a one-off process for each new source.

I was able to get my very first proof-of-concept instance up and running in under 10 minutes and get started building and executing my first basic ETL job in the Redshift product right away. And within about an hour, I had a basic prototype version of an SQL Server Integration Services(SSIS) job converted to run in Matillion for Redshift that was loading flat files from a Windows file share directly into our Redshift cluster via AWS S3.
