Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
Matillion is used by the data engineering team in order to build most of our data warehouse.
Pros
- Development speed
- Number of connectors
- Load/unload speed
Cons
- GIT integration
- CI/CD integrations
- Failure messaging
- Not a high ROI, as it is a high-priced service--more even for start-ups
- Jobs can get done fast. Delivering is a plus. Reports are made faster.
- It requires infrastructure monitoring, another "hidden" cost.
It has to be taken into account that the learning curve is high. It is a new tool that requires some understanding about its myriad of functionalities. However, jobs and ETLs can be done fast after getting a grasp on its components.
- SQL Server Integration Services, Stitch and a Talend company
It's browser-based and well suited for snowflake and redshift DWH. Matillion is Python-scripting friendly.
