Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand.""It's been able to do everything we require.""The product has a good user interface.""Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines.""It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"

More Matillion ETL Pros →

"The solution is easy to use and developer friendly.""The solution is stable.""It has a drag and drop feature that makes it easy to use. It has a good user experience because it takes into account your most-used tools and they're lined up nicely so you can just drag and drop without looking too far. It also integrates nicely with Microsoft.""SSIS provides you with lookup and transformation functions, and you have the flexibility to write your own custom code.""The script component is very powerful, things that you cannot normally do, is feasible through C#.""With this solution, there is the potential to expand, so that you can immediately write code onto the SQL server.""The setup is straightforward. It's very easy to install.""The setup was easy. All Microsoft products are easy to set up."

Cons
"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.""Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more.""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 tool's lineage is very weak.""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.""It needs integration with more data sources.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"I would also like to see full integration with our BI because then our full load of data will be available in our organization. They should incorporate an ATL process.""Sometimes when we want to publish to other types of databases it's not easy to publish to those databases. For example, the Jet Database Engine. Before the SSIS supported Jet Database Engine but nowadays it doesn't support the Jet Database Engine. We connect to many databases such as Access database, SparkPros databases and the other types of databases using Jet Database Engines now and SSIS now doesn't seem to support it in our databases.""The performance of this solution is not as good as other tools in the market.""Video training would be a helpful addition.""We'd like them to develop data exploration more.""I would like to see more features in terms of the integration with Azure Data Factory.""Future releases should improve the data lineage, as it currently is not good.""We're in the process of switching to Informatica, and we need to work out data lineage and data profiling and to improve the quality of our data. SSIS, however, is not that compatible with Informatica. We managed to connect it to Informatica Metadata Manager, but we don't get good lineage, so we have to redo all our ETLs using the Informatica process in order to accept the proper data lineage."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
  • "It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
  • "The prices needs to be lower."
  • "It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
  • "Purchasing it through the AWS Marketplace is pretty convenient. There is a little bit of back and forth in terms of the licensing based on the machine size, but it seems to have worked out well. it is convenient to have it all as part of our AWS billing."
  • "It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
  • "The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
  • "It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
  • More Matillion ETL Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "This solution has provided an inexpensive tool, and it is easy to find experienced developers."
  • "My advice is to look at what your configuration will be because most companies have their own deals with Microsoft."
  • "This solution is included with the MSSQL server package."
  • "It would be beneficial if the solution had a less costly cloud offering."
  • "Based on my experience and understanding, Talend comes out to be a little bit expensive as compared to SSIS. The average cost of having Talend with Talend Management Console is around 72K per region, which is much higher than SSIS. SSIS works very well with Microsoft technologies, and if you have Microsoft technologies, it is not really expensive to have SSIS. If you have SQL Server, SSIS is free."
  • "We have an enterprise license for this solution."
  • "It comes bundled with other solutions, which makes it difficult to get the price on the specific product."
  • "All of my clients have this product included as part of their Microsoft license."

If you’re in the process of choosing ETL tools and PowerCenter Informatica and Microsoft SSIS made it to your shortlist, here is a short comparative discussion detailing the differences between the two, as well as their benefits. Package Configuration Most enterprise data integration projects would require the capacity to develop a solution in one platform and test and deploy it in a separate environment without having to manually change the established workflow. In order to achieve this seamless movement between two environments, your ETL technology should allow the dynamic update of the project’s properties using the content or a parameter file or configuration. Both Informatica and SSIS support this functionality using different methodologies. In Informatica, every session can have more than one source and one or more destination connections.
