  • The jobs logging UI is very unique and helps in easy debugging
  • It has a proper hierarchical structure. One can easily organise projects and related pipelines
  • Access control and sharing necessary access is easy and quick
  • I have seen good performance even with complex pipelines
  • More features should be available with Git integration such as passing environment variables, schedules from git
  • Need improvement in parallelism of job runs
  • Sometimes cancelling a job gets stuck which can be improved

  • Matillion has a rich transformation library. It provides multiple functionalities, such as join, group by, pivot, various sources, and sinks.
  • It provides the security capability as well. All the credentials can be securely stored in Matillion.
  • Reusable templates can be built which reduces the redundancy.
  • Time to production is very minimal.
  • There is a scope of making it more developer friendly in terms of reusability.
  • Many configurations required to set up the Matillion pipeline can be reduced significantly.
  • In built python executable is quite slow.

  • Easy to use interface - even for users without data engineering background.
  • Many native components that do not require any "programming".
  • Powerful generic profile creation to easily extract data from any API.
  • Minor topic: adjusting a generic API Query profile can be a bit tricky. It would be great if we had proper EDIT functionality/flow.

  • Extracts Nested JSON
  • Had good DB support for multiple products.
  • Runs in Azure where your Cloud is (may be).
  • Upgrade process is sometimes quirky with no updates listed when there are clearly newer versions.
  • Support is sometimes long winded and multiple people have to get involved.
  • Docs could be expanded as not enough installed base to make forums or Google results useful in many cases.

  • We leveraged Matillion’s no-code principals to make data manipulation easy for our internal customers. People who don't know how to use SQL no longer need to. Everything in Matillion is self-explained with no or little coding.
  • We connected Matillion to our data warehouse to allow people to read raw data, transform it, then write results back to their sandbox databases. The drag and drop component design allowed customers to create complex data models at the speed of thought without any risk to production data.
  • With sharing capabilities between projects enabled, everyone was able to help each other when questions arose which instilled a strong sense of collaboration and community.
  • The new DPC version of Matillion uses Git principals like Commit, Push, Merge etc. This is perfectly fine for engineers, but for our use-case it means our customers will need to understand a basic level of Git. It would be great if they had an auto-commit-push setting which does it all for them.

  • ETL
  • Data manipulation
  • Integrates with data warehouses
  • Containerisation. Hopefully this will arrive soon.
  • Billing model. New hub model is much better but the previous market place model wasn't very flexible.
  • External AD solution would be a big win.

  • Automation
  • Integrates with other tools
  • Notifies users of success or failures
  • There is a generic failure alert option but not one for success
  • The process behind creating and unpacking shares jobs has a clunky UX
  • Pulling out the name of a pipeline to a slack webhook seems odd as it wants to only give the name of the component not the pipeline
