Overall Satisfaction with Matillion

We are implementing ETL workflows for other organizations that we consult for. It is currently being used for smaller sized clients across the whole organization. We use Matillion to automate the ingestion and transformation of data pipelines. We utilize Snowflake as a data warehouse, so we use Matillion as the tool to load data into the Snowflake database.
  • Automation and scheduling
  • Security and authorization
  • Ease of use
  • API Calls using python
  • More community support and forums
  • Allows for custom data refresh schedules
  • Requires little maintenance or support from the team
  • Affordable and scalable ETL solution
It is generally user friendly in terms of the various tools, but I think there is room for improvement in terms of seeking support or examples from other users.
I watched training and example videos/seminars for about two weeks before getting an instance set up for the company. And from there, I had a usable workflow going within another week.
Matillion easily integrates with Snowflake which is a huge selling point. It is also affordable fro the amount of data source connections that it comes with.
Matillion works well if the data sources are coming from common applications or databases.
