It's very easy to use because of its graphical nature. Ultimately, it is a wrapper for activities you could do using SQL, Python, and AWS services, and by presenting those activities in a simple interface it makes it easier to perform them without having to worry about a lot of extraneous details.

Matillion providing underline features of the database and unique functionality in connectors, increase our day-to-day work solution using the tool. For example, Snowflake database supports for JSON file system and thus using Matillion with Snowflake offers to flatten as an additional component is exceptional. Another example: Data could relive under FTP, sFTP, Cloud system (S3), databases and matillion have support to all, thus increasing the usability.

Good for Quick Starts, but can be a bit pricey for small enterprises at scale.

Pretty good UI, especially for a completely web-based system. Source control integration is a bit clunky at times, but overall makes code versioning and branching much more simple, since it's largely within the same context as the rest of the code. Finding some core settings can be difficult - they're just not where one would expect them to be.

Matillion is drag and drop. It is extremely flexible, intuitive, and easy to get started with. Python scripts allow you to do pretty much anything you need. If you don't know scripting, there are widgets that can do what you need as well.

Scheduling a job is a few clicks. Couldn't be easier.

Matillion has a clean and consistent interface that is readily approachable by anyone experienced with a visual or flow based ELT tool. The ability to rapidly onboard new users, reaching productive output in a few hours, is a key part of the value proposition. That it is usable by a wide range of skill levels is testament to the thought put into its overall design.

I can say Matillion can improve on a few things as answered in the previous question. But, I would still rate it 10 because I am completely dependent on it in my day to day activities. One of the reasons I took up a job is to be told in the interview that they were intending to purchase Matillion and they did!
Overall, Matillion is quite easy to use for any one with basic understanding of SQL. Can integrate external data sources with simple setup. For me, helps in answering all the business questions from my stakeholders with Tableau as data visualization tool.

I'm really satisfied with the whole Matillion/AWS/Redshift environment. For me, it was easy to switch to an ELT approach and to rebuild all jobs. After just two months, I felt familiar with the tool itself and built some complex stuff really fast. I measured my experience, and after working with different enterprise BI tools, I can say that Matillion is really user-friendly and useful for many business cases.

Regardless of one's needs, Matillion has different tools to address even the most complex issues that can occur in the ETL process.
It's easy to use and get along with, whether it is using the drag and drop of built components or creating your own from scratch.

Robust ELT with Matillion for Redshift

The interface that can be edited by multiple users at the same time makes it very usable. It's not a script based tool but it can be so it is great for all levels of professionals. The interface is responsive and there is no need to install desktop clients which is great. Sometimes after upgrades, we have to manually clear browser cache which is a bit annoying.

Matillion has a graphical user-friendly interface, you can drag and drop to control the details of the component and connect to others. The version stays updated and you can easily update to the latest version. It provides an easy way to set up from the cloud marketplace. It is easy to schedule jobs.

In previous organizations and projects, I utilized Microsoft's SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to perform all data transformation. I found the transition to Matillion to be much easier and flexible to fit the needs of our organization. The key benefit that we experienced with Matillion is the reduction in the amount of time required to deploy changes and work through modifications to the code. Being a cloud-based system, it is very easy for all of our team members to access the most recent code and not have to concern themselves with source control problems.

I find Matillion very intuitive and quickly got to grips with it. I have found that developers with a more purist coding background have struggled to get to grips with it more, particularly in relation to managing variables. For me personally, this has not been an issue and the online documentation has been excellent in digging deeper into specific functional areas

It's a mixed bag of usability: takes some getting used to, learning curve (not sure why some components can be used in "transformation jobs" but not "orchestration jobs" ?) but once you understand it, it's fairly usable.

Works well for people that like to visualize things, as each job and transformation is displayed on a graphical interface. A job or transformation can be a large set of tasks or can be broken down into individual ones so that diagrams do not get too complicated and out of hand.

It is good. Matillion is easy to use, the connection is web-based, fast, and always works. The "search" into each object simplifies the construction of transformations and joins. The SQL is always retrievable from jobs, therefore the debug phase is also easy to analyze. Moreover, in case of need, you can also write your own SQL into the appropriate object.
