Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"It's been able to do everything we require."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"The product has a good user interface."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
 

Cons

"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"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."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"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 pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"It is an open-source product."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
