We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage 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."The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"The most valuable feature is the product's versatility to inject data."
"It's a robust solution."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"DataStage works better with Linux operating systems when the application services are hosted on Linux system equipment, but it's powerful on Windows too."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"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."
"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's been able to do everything we require."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"The troubleshooting guide is very bad."
"DataStage is quite expensive. It is too hard to find a consultant using DataStage in Turkey."
"The interface needs improvement. It is really too technical. That is the main problem."
"Its documentation is not up to the mark. While building APIs, we had a lot of problems trying to get around it because it is not very user-friendly. We tried to get hold of API documentation, but the documentation is not very well thought out. It should be more structured and elaborate. In terms of additional features, I would like to see good reporting on performance and performance-tuning recommendations that can be based on AI. I would also like to see better data profiling information being reported on InfoSphere."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"The documentation and in-application help for this solution need to be improved, especially for new features."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"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."
"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized."
"While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
