Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
I use Matillion for one project. I use Matillion to solve my data loading issue because Matillion supports many data sources. I use this to aggregate all the data sources to my data warehouse. Before using Matillion, I needed to write my own data loader, which was very time consuming and created a lot of stability issues. By using Matillion, I can load my data within an hour to my warehouse.
- Quick to set up
- Tailor-made for data warehouses (Bigquery, Snowflake, Redshift)
- Graphical UI to connect all the modules
- Easy to learn
- Customer response time needs improving
- SAAS model instead of charging hourly
- Lack of documentation
- Versioning logs not updated
- Shorten the development time
- Focus on data only
It took me about a few days to study those advanced features, due to not much community support, but I still was able to get support from Matillion. For those standard features, you can run it maybe within a few hours.
It has a drag-&-drop graphical UI, which makes it easy to connect all the components together. It's very fast to set up from cloud marketplace. It supports many data sources and it also provides a customizable data source component.
