It has a good graphical user interface. You can also do a lot of generic stuff in the tool. If there is good connectivity to a cloud database, such as Snowflake, and you can have a lot of Snowflake functionality in the tool.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."

"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten.""Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly.""It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies.""It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient.""It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product.""The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform.""Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."

Cons
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases.""It needs integration with more data sources.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product.""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.""Matillion’s on-premises capabilities don’t allow you to build something customized.""I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly.""One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function.""The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement.""I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved.""Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations.""The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities.""From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems.""A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
