A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"The simplicity of this tool is nice. It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Palantir Foundry is a robust platform that has really strong plugin connectors and provides features for real-time integration."
"Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility."
"The data lineage is great."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
 

Cons

"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The solution’s data security could be improved."
"The solution's visualization and analysis could be improved."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price depends on what you expect. You pay on a monthly basis, but there is a possibility to have special contracts depending on the installation."
"The solution's pricing is not based on the licensing cost but on the running hours when the Matillion instance is up and running."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"A rough estimation of the cost is around 20,000 dollars a month, however, this is dependent on the machine used and how Matillion ETL is used."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
