In this report, we compare the three major data pipeline platforms: Matillion, Stitch, and Fivetran; and run them through a series of selected tests that highlight their degree of automation, ease of setup, and documentation. We evaluated aspects that include the time and effort required to set up a sourcedestination connection, the degree of automation throughout the process, and the quality of documentation to support the effort. These areas address the three major “humps of work” we have encountered in our field work with data pipelines.
Of the three offerings, Fivetran had the shortest and easiest setup. Matillion Data Loader produced the longest setup, with the most steps. Matillion also had some steps that were poorly documented. Stitch ranked between Fivetran and Matillion Data Loader in our assessment, but it had the longest-running individual task (selecting which Salesforce entities to sync).
