Overall Satisfaction with Matillion

We use Matillion to transfer data between our production PostgreSQL databases and our Snowflake data warehouse. This robust integration ensures efficient data migration and significantly enhances our data management processes. By leveraging Snowflake's advanced analytics and storage capabilities, we then gain deeper insights and make more informed strategic business decisions, driving overall growth.

Pros

  • Excellent GUI to build data flows
  • Flows backed up to GitHub for versioning
  • Once set up it's full automated and so far no failures

Cons

  • Perhaps some modernisation of the interface
  • More granular cost reporting
  • Much less time spent on traditional ETL scripts
  • Lower cost than expected
  • Very robust
Non devs are able to see how the flows work, the interface is intuitive enough, with most of the complexity hidden. It has mpacted our team by streamlining our data integration and transformation processes, regardless of technical expertise, to easily build and manage ETL workflows. We have increased our productivity, reduced development time, and enabled faster, more efficient data operations without the need for extensive coding skills.
We were able to get up and running with Matillion remarkably quickly, we were able to get some test flows up in a few hours and a more in depth setup took about one day, including configuring the software and connecting to our data sources. Within the first week, we configured our full ETL processes and conducted initial testing. By the end of the second week, we ran our first data jobs successfully.
Has connectors for all our current data sources and cloud destinations
Cost and ease of use were better for our purposes. Matillion distinguishes itself from Fivetran and SnapLogic through its user-friendly design, no-code interface, in-depth transformation capabilities, allowing for complex data manipulations directly within the platform, offering greater control and customization over ETL processes. Additionally, Matillion is designed to scale easily, handling large data volumes while ensuring consistent performance at a cost-effective pricing model.

It's built to do the job we need: to extract data from standard databases, transform it as we need, and load it into a data warehouse. The ETL process is posisble to use by non enginners and ensures our data is accurate and up-to-date, untimately enabling us to set it once and leave the processes to run automatically .
