Overall Satisfaction with Matillion
We replicate data between PostgreSQL and Snowflake for most of our core business operations. We were using various home-grown techniques for doing that which took a very long time to complete due to the growing size of the data. We turned to Matillion for help and started first with their original CDC product that was part of the ETL server. That could not handle the volume that we pushed, so we switched to their developing CDC product in Data Loader.
- Provides seamless, end-to-end replication
- Works tirelessly with the customer if there are any issues
- The customer service team needs to improve interaction with the customer
- Provide documentation to current customers on new features that are added so that we don't have to find out either ourselves or have to search through the FAQ pages
- Reduced our replication time from hours to now seconds
- Direct-to-Snowflake is proving to be the most reliable version yet and very resilient
At the beginning of the ETL CDC process, it took us several working sessions with the teams to get all of the different components constructed in AWS, and then to find out it didn't meet our needs was a bit disappointing. With the CDC in Data Loader, though, we were up and running in a couple of hours after getting everything built and permissions established. Much better product. With the direct-to-Snowflake version, a new version can be stood up and snapshotted in less than an hour.
Matillion ran circles around Stitch and Striim both in functionality, setup, and performance. There was no real comparison. Fivetran massively outperforms Matillion in pretty much every facet of the production from setup, maintenance, visibility, and usability. It already has the ability to connect any data source to a destination regardless of database type. Why we chose Matillion over Fivetran is that, for our current needs, Matillion provides us with the functionality that we need and a much more competitive price for a smaller company.
