Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal
It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"I would recommend Matillion ETL for any cloud-based operations."
"The product has a good user interface."
"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."
"On a new project using Matillion, it took me 10 minutes to set up and begin importing data from Safesforce.com."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"It can scale."
"The technical support is very good. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns."
"It's a stable solution."
"It is a scalable solution."
"One of the most valuable features was the ability to integrate multiple source systems that mainly used structured IDBMS versions."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
 

Cons

"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"It could have better integrations with other databases and other services."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"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."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"When processing data from certain tables with a large volume of data, we encounter significant delays. For instance, when dealing with around one million records, it typically takes three to four hours. To address this, I aim to implement performance improvements across all tables, ensuring swift processing similar to those that are currently complete within seconds. The performance issue primarily arises when we analyze the inserts and updates from the source, subsequently dropping the table. While new insertions are handled promptly, updates are processed slowly, leading to performance issues. Despite consulting our Qlik vendors, they were unable to pinpoint the exact cause of this occurrence. Consequently, I am seeking ways to optimize performance within Qlik Compose, specifically concerning updates."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working."
"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."
"There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"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."
"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."
"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
