Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
We use Matillion to support our recurring data requests and cleaning processes on large data sets. Approximately half of our department currently uses it.
- The GUI is very intuitive, making it easy for new users while also having more complex functions available to experienced users.
- There is a good mix of defined components and customization options, giving users flexibility for both their skill level and the task at hand.
- Matillion includes a chron scheduler and s3 export options which streamline the process, enabling all portions of the ETL process to take place within the same utility.
- Areas for improvement include local variable updates, e.g. a last run date.
- More python library support would greatly broaden the potential uses.
- The S3 export function could use some adjustments in making clear defaults, particularly in regards to snowflake file types.
- Matillion has had a positive impact on our workflow and turn-around time, allowing the team to take on more and more complex projects.
I was not involved in the initial phase of implementation, but once we had it set up on an ec2 instance, I was able to start creating flows with minimal guidance.
I was not involved in the ETL tool search, but Matillion was selected for both usability and pricing options.
