Cost-effective Solution: Several users have praised Meltano for being a cost-effective solution, with one user stating it saved them at least 1 million per year compared to alternative options.
Extensive Library of Pre-built Taps and Targets: Many reviewers appreciate the extensive library of pre-built taps and targets offered by Meltano, making it feel like a plug-and-play experience. Users find this feature particularly useful as it saves them time and effort in creating custom connectors for various platforms.
Simplicity and Ease of Use: Meltano's simplicity and ease of use are highly appreciated by multiple users. They mention being able to run it on the command line, in a docker container, or in various orchestration tools. The intuitive nature of Meltano makes it easy for users to create, maintain, and run data pipelines without facing any major difficulties.
Cons:
- Limited orchestration capabilities: Some users have found that Meltano's orchestration capabilities are limited, as it is not intended to be a full orchestrator. For more complex pipelines or the need to run custom code, an external orchestrator like Dagster or Airflow is required.
- Lack of real-time streaming support: According to reviewers, Meltano does not currently support real-time streaming. This limitation may impact users who require real-time data processing in their workflows.
- Challenging navigation and outdated documentation: Several users have mentioned that navigating the documentation can be challenging due to the numerous features baked into Meltano. Additionally, some reviewers have noted that the documentation is occasionally not up-to-date. However, they have had positive experiences connecting with the Meltano team in their Slack community for assistance.
Please note that these cons reflect common feedback from multiple reviewers and should be considered alongside other factors when evaluating Meltano as a software solution.
