Fivetran and Matillion are two long-standing data integration providers that cater to businesses with diverse data needs. While both offer low- and no-code pipelines, custom development capabilities, and powerful transformation features, Fivetran stands out for its robust, managed pipelines with multiple change data capture (CDC) capabilities, built-in advanced features for modern workflows, and guaranteed high availability. In contrast, Matillion's approach is more traditional ETL-based, relying on agents, manual configuration of schemas, and a proprietary GUI that may require additional expertise and infrastructure management. Fivetran offers nearly three times as many connectors, many of which are feature-rich, and its agentless architecture simplifies pipeline setup and scalability without the need for customer-managed infrastructure. With Fivetran, users can set up fully managed pipelines with automated schema maintenance, private connections to cloud providers, column blocking and hashing, high-volume replication, and transparent pricing, making it an attractive choice for organizations seeking a forward-looking data movement platform with clear documentation and advanced security features.
