We performed a comparison between Fivetran 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."Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Fivetran can perform data migration incredibly fast, depending on the source and target."
"For us, Fivetran has been able to scale both in terms of the data we bring into our warehouse and the amount of data that we use as well."
"The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"The portal is very intuitive and easy to use."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"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."
"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."
"HVR Software's technical support could be improved. Whenever we log a case, the response that we get from the support is a bit delayed."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"The customization could improve because Fivetran gives more thought to people who don't want to manage analytics workflows rather than engineers who want to be able to customize pipelines more thoroughly."
"The solution is very expensive. I would like to have a better integration of the solution with Azure."
"The documentation can be laid out better to make it easier to find things, and I really wish there was built-in support for changing passwords. Some features don't work as advertised for the platform/repository database, and HVR is not always the fastest at getting results."
"The documentation is decent, but it's hard to find information online about Fivetran. For example, if you try to search for an error code, you won't find much information about it in forums."
"There was a random change to our contract in a unilateral manner after the first year. The overall cost of using Fivetran was then unclear and this is the reason I would not recommend this solution."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"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 cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"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."
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."
"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."
