Cons
"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.""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.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases.""I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"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.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""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.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
