Matillion ETL Other Advice
The main thing to consider before using Matillion is the specific reason you want to use a tool like it. If you need a combination of data ingestion and transformation, then Matillion can be a great option.
Additionally, if you expect to load large volumes of data that will be used across multiple avenues, Matillion is a good choice. On the other hand, if you only need data ingestion and with more manageable volumes or ingesting streams, it might be better to look at a tool like Fivetran. However, they charge you based on the volume of rows or records you ingest. So, if you ingest large volumes, your costs can rapidly increase and overtake your maintenance costs.
Overall, I would rate Matillion ETL an eight out of ten.

I give the solution a nine out of ten. This is one of the best solutions. Matillion ETL is closely integrated with the cloud environment, which is quite common, and thanks to that, we can take advantage of services available in AWS, GCP, and Azure. I have used a few solutions so far and this is one of the best. Everything works as expected, the tool is very intuitive, the monitoring is very well-developed, and the Git integration is great. From a developer or architect's point of view, it is quite intuitive and nice to use. Matillion ETL is one of the best.
We currently have 15 developers using the solution in our organization.
Depending on the specific case and requirements; when deciding, I would take into consideration what other options are available. From an end-user perspective, I really like Matillion ETL; it is comfortable to work with and easy to set up and maintain. The solution is not perfect, but there are no other similar solutions. The support is also very good and the integration with Git is quite nice, so it is quite flexible. Even if something is not supported out of the box, we can customize components or include Python code. It also depends on the amount of data to be processed, what kind of data it is, and the underlying database engine. There are cases where Matillion ETL makes sense, but there may be cases where it is not recommended. The solution is quite flexible, with the Snowflake dedicated version or Databricks, so we can decide which underlying data warehouse to use. If the company is GCP-related, they may not want to use Redshift, but there is an option for Bitquery. If developers prefer to use Spark, the Databricks version of Matillion ETL would be a nice option. I have been using the solution for a while and I feel comfortable with it. Compared to other tools like DataStage and Informatica, I can say a lot of good things about Matillion ETL, so it is quite convenient for us.
Overall, I would rate it nine out of ten.

Before switching to cloud databases, you need to understand the cost of Snowflake and AWS. You need to understand the costs of porting the data over and replicating it. If you are going for Snowflake, I would 100% advise you to go for it. It helps you get where you need to be. I would rate the product ten out of ten.
View full review »The decision to use Matillion ETL depends on the specific requirements. If the requirements can be met without Matillion ETL in a short amount of time, then using it would be unnecessary. However, if dealing with large data sets and frequent data migrations to and from the cloud, then Matillion ETL would be a suitable choice.
I have a lot of experience in this field of data and I was able to achieve results with Matillion ETL that I was not able to with the traditional approach. The solution is helpful for large amounts of data.

My advice to new users would be to start by going through the tutorials and working with example data. These tutorials are quite helpful in getting you familiar with the tool. Additionally, try working with data that you understand well, such as data from your previous work or a familiar dataset. This way, you can focus on learning how to use the tool without having to figure out complex data problems simultaneously. Overall, I would rate Matillion ETL a nine out of ten. It works very well.

The tool seems to reduce complexity rather than boost performance. The overall process remains somewhat intricate. I don't think we've observed any performance improvements using my team. I rate the overall product a seven out of ten.
