Matillion is used by two different departments at our company - engineering and professional services. For engineering, it is used as an ETL pipeline tool for ingesting data into our internal data warehouse from a variety of 3rd party platforms, ultimately for the purposes of advanced analytics. For professional services, this tool is being used to automate client data load processes.

Matillion is being used as a data pipeline tool, and we use it to pipe data from Postgres to Redshift, and also for piping other external APIs directly using Matillion connectors. It helps in removing and having a separate data end-team for maintaining jobs written in code basics, and it's easy to maintain.

We are using Matillion throughout our organization to run and automate all data pipelines into our data warehouse. We integrate various sources from API's, Python Scripts, SQL Scripts, and other databases, into a single data warehouse.

Matillion is used in our Data Analytics and Data Engineering department. At the time we purchased it, we had no dedicated data engineers. We needed something powerful enough to handle more complex jobs, but simple enough that a semi-technical analyst could use. We were using a lot of different tools at the time and were evaluating a lot of different ETL solutions in the space.
Matillion provided a solution that was simple, easy to connect, and also provided Internet connectors to some of our most crucial systems, such as Salesforce and Jira. It has allowed us to consolidate much of our processes onto a single system that is easily understood.

Few months ago, we'd decided to migrate on-premise BI stack to cloud as on-premise solutions were not able to meet growing demands. Clearly, we were looking for cloud-only solutions. After extensive research and POC of several tools, we've onboarded Matillion. Matillion is primarily used by BI developers for ELT pipelines (External applications, API, Database, CSV ..) and transformation but the resulting data is used by the whole organization via the dashboard or Excel extracts. Direct data integration connectors, powerful transformation capabilities, user-friendly interface, error handling, logging, tight integration with Snowflake, extensive usages documentation and excellent technical support inclined our decision towards Matillion. It reduced the development time drastically. Data load performance is pretty impressive compared to on-premise deployments.

Matillion for Snowflake is used by our Data Engineering team for developing data flows for extracting and transforming data into our Snowflake data lake. The data lake is available to the entire organization for analysis and decision support. We needed an ETL tool for batch processing for replacement of Airflow.

Matillion is being used by Xyngular to ETL data from multiple environments into an AWS Redshift database. We also use it to pull data files from FTP and load them into the database. It also allows us to be very flexible on the scheduling of the jobs.

We currently use Matillion for Redshift as our ELT tool for data retrieval, aggregation, and management. It is currently being used by multiple departments in our organization, including our data team and operations team. Having used Apache AirFlow, Matillion is a breath of fresh air. It is easy to use, easy to implement with a variety of technologies, and the support system is quick and convenient.

Matillion is being used in our company as an ELT tool. We load data into it from various sources, such as Salesforce, NetSuite, etc. We are exploring more such options, from there we can pull the data into matillion. Once in matillion, we transform this data using various components provided by the matillion tool to modify the data as we need. Then, once all the modification are in place we load the data into Snowflake which is our data warehouse

We're exploring Matillion as an ELT tool when we migrate our workloads to the cloud. This software is not in production yet as we're still exploring. Once accepted, this software will be used in our Information Management department. This business problem that is addressed by this software is ELT.

Used to re-platform on-prem SQL servers to Snowflake. Also used to create data warehouse transformations, marts, and reporting tables. We also used it to remap several Excel-based calculations into an automated pipeline with backup and recovery on S3 and Snowflake. As consultants, we recommended the product, provided initial implementation and ran training workshops tailored to the client's tasks and workflows.

As a ETL tool to pull data from various data sources for which Matillion had data connectors into a central database.

It was used only by the Marketing department. Since Matillion had its own native connectors to certain platforms, it was easy to pull data from those sources. And since we didn't have a developer to write scripts for those connectors, someone less tech savvy could do it themselves by dragging & dropping. Also since Matillion was responsible to keep its native connectors up to date, a developer wasn't required to read and implement all new API documentation if there were certain changes.

I met with Matillion team at AWS Summit 2018 at Sydney, Australia. At that time we were using legacy ETL for our Redshift Data Warehouse.
We were trying to adopt Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery framework for our ETL and found it to be challenging for our environment. It was time to look for something new and say goodbye to our bellowed legacy ETL. So we had a conversation with Matillion team and quickly decided to do a POC. We've evaluated couple of other tools in the past but nothing came close to Matillion.
First of all, setup was a breeze. The migration was quick and painless, the system is very easy to work with. Almost more importantly, the Matillion team is very friendly and always willing to help, their support is outstanding! Matillion has dozens of native connectors out of the box, so we had no problem with integrations at all. In fact, migration to Matillion allowed us to drop couple of third party legacy ETL components required for AWS infrastructure.
Python scripts component allows to use Boto3 and hundreds of other libraries, so practically there is no limit of where you can use Matillion.
We were finally able to build full scale CI/CD pipeline. Our setup uses combination of JIRA, Bitbucket and Bamboo build server and it works like a charm, thanks to Matillion'™s REST API.
