"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple.

If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python.""The product has a good user interface.""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)."

Cons
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool.""They should build a functional architecture based on queuing.""Transformation Manager reporting could be better.

"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems.""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.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""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.""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.""Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."

    Overview
    Transformation Manager is an integrated development toolkit that is used to build data migration and data integration solutions more efficiently. A metadata-driven code generator, Transformation Manager provides users with the ability to generate lightweight, easy-to-deploy code. It combines a Graphical User Interface with a statement-driven mapping language. The Transformation Manager software derives metadata from the elements, attributes and relationships in a source and target model. Transformation Manager then uses rules specified by Simple Mapping Language (SML), which is specifically designed for implementing data transformation projects, to generate code written in Java.

    Matillion ETL is a powerful tool for extracting, transforming, and loading large amounts of data from various sources into cloud data warehouses like Snowflake. Its ability to load data dynamically and efficiently using metadata is a standout feature, as is its open-source ETL with good performance and high efficiency. 

    The solution has a graphical interface for jobs, is easily adjustable and extensible, and allows for scheduling and error reporting. Matillion ETL has helped organizations move to a cloud-based solution, bridge the gap between on-premises and on-cloud, and perform complex migration projects.
