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 technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"Matillion ETL has great Git integration that is perfect and convenient to use."
"It's highly scalable. It takes upon itself the Redshift scalability, so it's very good."
"It has good integrations with Amazon Redshift and other AWS services."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface."
"We can connect Zapier with Zoho CRM for lead generation. I like the tool's drag and drop feature."
"What's most valuable in Zapier is its simplicity, seamlessness, and smooth plug-in, so you won't need to build code for every action. I'm not a developer, but I can use Zapier."
"Webhooks are the most valuable feature of Zapier."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"The most valuable feature of Zapier is it saves me time doing repetitive tasks."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Zapier’s most valuable feature is its ability to interconnect applications or devices."
"Zapier's interface, for me, is the solution's greatest value proposition. It is designed and developed for people who don't have a clue about what they're trying to do. It has a very user-friendly interface."
"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."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
"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 tool's lineage is very weak."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"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."
"Being able to share Zaps and organize them with teammates would allow sharing and refining scenarios and even combining steps that require different people's credentials."
"The solution does not work properly when we apply filters and we get errors."
"System-to-system is fine, but when it comes to system-to-user, where Zapier is helping to communicate to a user, that's a one-way communication. If that user has to perform some action on that notification, the action isn't handled by Zapier. So there's no way to orchestrate that and it's very cumbersome."
"I think that this solution should have more apps connected to it."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
"I would like to see them improve the Quickbase integration. Currently, it only allows triggering actions when records are added, but it would be more useful if we could also trigger actions when records are modified or deleted."
"Zapier needs more YouTube or video tutorials or more training for people. That would help a lot. In particular, Zapier should have documentation for every connector. Its documentation needs to be more detailed and visual."
"It could support various languages along with Python."
