Surprisingly Capable ELT tool with Great Support
We evaluated several ETL/ELT solutions for Redshift as our datawarehouse of choice. We needed to ingest a large number of sources, mostly through API-s (marketing, social networks, etc.). There were one or two other solutions which matched Matillion's capabilities, but at a much higher price. We also wanted to start slowly so pay as you go model was perfect for us. We settled on Matillion and are very happy with the choice we made.
With no prior experience with Matillion, we expected a rudimentary ELT tool, but were surprised to find a tool which had numerous connectors to various data sources. Matillion is a well thought through product - its structure (project groups-projects-folders-jobs-tasks) is perfectly combined with a native Redshift perspective (e.g. support for different environment). Native support for project versioning is an example of supporting functionality we did not expect to find.
Documentation is clear and well structured with examples and videos for each topic. Q&A forums are publicly available and the community is active.
Finally, compared to traditional, large ETL vendors Matillion support is superb. Proactive, but not pushy, fast to answer with concrete, technical answers.
