We performed a comparison between AWS Glue and Matillion ETL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Data catalog and triggers are the two best features for me. AWS Glue has its own data catalog, which makes it great and really easy to use. Triggers are also really good for scheduling the ETL process."
"The solution integrates well with other AWS products or services."
"The key role for Glue is that it hosts our metadata before rolling out our actual data. This is the major advantage of using this solution and our clients client have been very satisfied with it."
"AWS Glue's best features are scalability and cloud-based features."
"The most valuable feature of AWS Glue is scalability."
"The solution is stable and reliable."
"AWS Glue's most valuable features are the data catalog, including crawlers and tables, and Glue Studio, which means you don't have to use custom code."
"The solution is highly user-friendly, and its features are easy to use. The new addition of AWS Glue Data Catalog is also very beneficial, making the tool even more helpful for its users."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"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."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"On occasion, the solution's dashboard reports that a project failed due to runtime but it actually succeeded."
"The monitoring is not that good."
"In terms of performance, if they can further optimize the execution time for serverless jobs, it would be a welcome improvement."
"Only people who can code, either in Java or Python, can use the product freely. Those who don't know Java or Python might find using AWS Glue difficult."
"Currently, it supports only two languages in the background: Python and Scala. From our customization point of view, it would be helpful if it can also support Java in the background."
"We face performance issues when using AWS Glue for data transformation and integration."
"The solution should offer features for streaming data in addition to batching data."
"It is not clear how the partition discovery would have been affected by more data coming in."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"It needs integration with more data sources."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking."
