We are happy to share some insights about Matillion drawn from our latest market research, Ventana Research Buyers Guide: DataOps, which assesses how well vendors’ offerings meet buyers’ requirements.  

We recently published four Ventana Research 2023 DataOps Buyers Guides, an assessment of technology vendors and products that provide individual and combined DataOps, data observability, data orchestration and data pipeline platform support.  

At Ventana Research, we continue to believe that, for most use-cases, there is a clear choice for DataOps platforms for any use in your organization. We developed four technology assessments and buyers guides to focus on overall DataOps requirements as well as specific data observability, data orchestration and data pipeline platform use-cases. 

In all of our Buyers Guides, we utilize a structured research methodology called the Value Index that includes evaluation categories designed to reflect real-world criteria incorporated in a request for proposal (RFP) and vendor selection process for DataOps. We evaluated Matillion and 17 other vendors in seven categories, five relevant to the product (adaptability, capability, manageability, reliability and usability) and two related to the vendor (TCO/ROI and vendor validation). 

In the overall DataOps Buyers Guide, our analysis classified Matillion as a vendor of Assurance, receiving an overall grade of C++ with a 55.7% performance. Matillion’s best grouped results came in Customer Experience at 74.6% performance and B+ grade due in part to its B++ in TCO/ROI. In Product Experience, Matillion received a C++ grade with a 52.4% performance due to a 42.4% performance in Capability. Matillion achieved an A- in Reliability and a B+ in Adaptability. Matillion did not participate in the RFI process.
