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."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's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"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)."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"Unlike Snowflake which automatically takes care of upgrading to the latest version and includes additional features, with Matillion ETL we need to do this ourselves."
"It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database."
"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."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
