We are moving away from Matillion to MWAA Airflow with dbt.
Maintaining source control in github is important to us.

We have used Matillion in the past for:
Replication - Copy from postgres, load to s3, perform transformation in redshift
Running python scripts
S3 data transfers - bucket to bucket

We use Matillion ETL (extract, transform, and load) with Bigquery to transform customer data to a standard format. There are 100+ sources and file formats are different. We use Matillion to transform these files and apply business logic to create and store it in a standard format which can be used by downstream and we deal with terra bytes of data on a daily basis.

Matillion is used to build the data pipeline on the Google Cloud platform. There are multiple use cases: 1. Data is received in GCS storage and picked by Matillion based on the active sensors and on a specific schedule. Data is transformed and then loaded into big query tables. 2. Data is read from HTTP endpoints, transformed using Matillion, and then loaded into big query tables. 3. The data quality framework is built on top of Matillion to apply some business checks.

Matillion ETL is used to extract, transform and load data into the Data Warehouse in Snowflake from data sources like Oracle databases and external CSV files. Matillion is used both for managing, scheduling and controlling the ETL processes as well as the data loading and transformations.

Matillion perfectly solves the issue of multiple data sources from different technology stacks and formats that need orchestrating into meaningful views of the data to then allow proper data mining. This then means we can provide the insights and trends the individual and group leadership needs in order to run the business in an adaptive and agile way. The technical team also appreciates the care given to building a UX that is easy to follow compared to other ETL tools used in the past.

We needed a way of empowering people with data in a no-code way. Data is a bottleneck and everyone needs it, but how do we give them this data and enable them to use it effectively? We launched ‘Data as a Product’ - A package of tools and resources that exposes raw data to people and allows them to manipulate it with ease. Matillion is the key tool in this package that allows people to manipulate data at the speed of thought with no code. Matillion’s no-code design, intuitive interface, and collaboration centric architecture allowed us to get people set up and transforming data in a matter of minutes with very little support from the Data team.

We use Matillion for loading data from various sources into Snowflake Data Lake. We have data in various source systems such as SQL servers, many SAAS applications with proprietary databases, Quickbooks, files, and so forth. It is important to have data from all of these sources in the data lake for integrated reporting for the business.

We replicate data between PostgreSQL and Snowflake for most of our core business operations. We were using various home-grown techniques for doing that which took a very long time to complete due to the growing size of the data. We turned to Matillion for help and started first with their original CDC product that was part of the ETL server. That could not handle the volume that we pushed, so we switched to their developing CDC product in Data Loader.

Matillion powers our team of 2 data engineers to manage the database of our entire company. Without Matillion there is no way only 2 people would be able to do this. It helps us be more productive and get to the projects we really need instead of spending all our time deep in legacy code for every single process update.

We use Matillion as our main tool for all ETL/ELT processing. Our DWH target DB is Snowflake. We extract data from different sources; ex: SQL Server, BOX, S3, SAP HANA.
We also use Matillion to execute Python scripts. We are working currently to configure Matillion to connect to Github.

We get a lot of different files from different partners/vendors. We also have multiple databases that all need to be centralized. We use Matillion to read in the data from these different files and databases into a DataLake. That datalake then serves the rest of our company from reporting to billing.

They come in far cheaper than other brands with the same level of support and functionality. When they deliver on the cloud based offering this will be a big step forward. Matillion has become an indispensable asset in our organization's data workflow. It elegantly tackles our complex data integration and transformation needs, streamlining processes that were once time-consuming. Our work with Matillion will continue to thrive and provide our business value going forward.

Matillion is used to transform data from organizations transactional systems, sales and marketing systems and logistics. Data is transformed to create data assets that are easily consumed by users to take critical business decisions and also report operations and trend analytics. Matillion is also used to feed data into other systems that do not currently provide direct connectivity from various other applications. Matillion is also used to create and support a hub/spoke model for data assets that we have for self service reporting within different business units

We have helped our clients to implement Matillion in creating data warehouse, datalake and data mart. The use of Matillion have helped in processing large volumes of data in less time and also in much lower cost. The implementation of Matillion was simple and the team could easily learn and start using it.

ETL tool that integrates with all major data warehouses as well as other internal data sources. The platform is easy to use. Support is detailed and timely. Upgrades can be performed in a blue green manner. And the product has robust backup solutions. All in all a competent and easy to integrate platform that does a great deal of the heavy lifting for you.

We used Matillion for common ETL tasks. It has allowed us to handle large volumes of data and aggregate them for reporting purposes. We wanted an automated lights out solution and it did just the job. It was used on an on demand basis which kept the cost down too.

We use Matillion for all our batch ELT/ETL/rETL processes and the orchestration and scheduling of those processes. It makes it easier to create clear and maintainable pipelines with DAGs and notes in the DAGs for documentation. It makes getting setup with extraction of new sources much easier. We use it for database and API sources. The API Profiles make setting up new sources easier. We also used the transformation components for more complicated Snowflake transformations such as flattening json. Matillion jobs parameterization and shared jobs make it easier to reuse code for multiple pipelines. Its great to be able to use both SQL and Python to transform data.
