Good SaaS ETL Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Matillion's simple UI makes user comfortable to configure and easy to understand the flow. And it's well maintained configuration section is a big plus for this platform. So even new users can easily understand this platform's features and design. Additionally Matillion providing learning materials and courses for beginners to understand their tool and the topics in the course also few, because they teaching only necessary topics which can help beginners to work in their platform as a professional.
What do you dislike about the product?
Matillion doing good in their pathway of Data Engineering, but some drawbacks I have noticed is it's API limitations. Basically Matillion providing API to retrieve metadata from their system, but when it's come to Administrative API's which is something administrator access only features they not provided sufficient APIs for that. And one more dislike in it's designer console, some of the components are working as expected.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Basically Matillion is a ETL tool which works as usual in the Data Engineering field. But apart from that it has many advantages related to Administrative features. They are having a hub which serves billing data in a decent way. Basically teaching a technology/tool to beginners is a big headache especially in Data Engineering, because here everyone is working on top of data only. If anything goes wrong then the whole production got trouble. So in this scenario Matillion solves the teaching in a simple way as they are providing courses to learn their tools and also they are providing free trials to practice the learning. This is a very good initiative from Matillion. And the courses also very simple and contains required details only about the tool. This will stop beginners to lead to confusions, because of required content.
