Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
It's being used by our BI team, to ingest data into our Data Warehouse and distribute primarily to clients via Tableau, GSheets, emails, SFTP, etc. We also use it internally. Almost all our usage is for loading data although we use some transformation components when bringing in semi-structured data. Our team supports the entire organization.
- Move large amounts of data quickly from various sources into Storage/Data Warehouse. This is important for any ETL tool.
- The built-in API connectors are very useful and are usually granular enough to save us loads of development time.
- Matillion usually responds to support tickets in a day or two.
- A couple of times, we've had components stop working. We were basically told to keep checking the release notes for fixes. It would be nice if they prioritized maintaining existing components over developing new ones.
- It can be hard for multiple users to work on the same job.
- Most of their documentation is good, but sometimes their support pages link to missing docs.
- Matillion has saved us a lot of development time when connecting to certain APIs--up to months between making requests and connecting to our Data Warehouse.
Similar simple GUI but Matillion's is much cleaner, easier to manage and debug, and easier to connect to cloud databases. Matillion is also much faster.
