We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and Matillion ETL based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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 most valuable feature is the user-friendliness of the application."
"Provides good security features."
"It's stable to use, connect with the cloud, and to deploy."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"I would say that the most valuable feature is the array of connectors and integration tools."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"The product has a good user interface."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs."
"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"
"The technical support treats us well. They already have a support portal, and they are responsive, which helps."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"The product should improve its support."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"When we do a version upgrade of the system, the platform is kind of complicated."
"IBM App Connect should improve security features."
"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 cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"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."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly."
