Great: Need to query simpler APIs, or utilize well known services such as GSheets etc.? Matillion has got some of the best and easiest to use connectors out there. Not so great: Do you need have a competent CI/CD flow that you will be able to update / compare from Matillion as well as other sources at the same time? Good luck, you will need to be extra careful, as you might have to have a deeper dive into your servers Terminal each time you have a git conflict.

It's great for all kinds of migrations big and small. The reports are also very usefull and the MS Teams administration options are a bonus. It's file/networkdrive migration options could be completere but they work. I hope ShareGate will invest some more effort in to that feature. ShareGate is quite complete as it is right now.

Pros
  • The user interface of your data pipelines makes it easier for people who aren’t as techy as data engineers to observe what's going on.
  • Customer support is quick, not always as efficient as you would want it to be, but still.
  • Nice documentation available.

  • Copying all kinds of SharePoint objects between sites
  • Reports on Orphaned users and other audit requirements

Cons
  • Static and monolithic, it will show its limits when running multiple concurrent jobs.
  • Github and versioning implementation is messy and broken. Don't use it.
  • There's not way to see/query the system resources, just wait for a server to crash due to out of memory. An admin panel would be appreciated + some env variables with updated info.
  • API implementation is cumbersome and limited.
  • There's no concept of hub and worker engine, everything happens of the same server (designing workflows and executing them). Having separate light ETL engines to run job could be better. (sort of docker/kubernetes/lambda functions).
  • Handling of variables is limited especially for returned values from sub components.
  • Some components could return more metadata at the end of their execution instead of the standard one.
  • Billing is badly designed not taking into account that the server is hosted by the client. Expensive.
  • We had several issue with migration where starting a new instance was required and then migrating the content. It was painful and time consuming also have to deal with support and engineering team on Matillion side.
  • CDC doesn't work as expected or it is not a mature product yet.

  • Auditing -connect with MS purview
  • Better reports export for permissions matrix
  • Better user mapping (poll source and destination sites and try to auto map)

Matillion is easy to use and flexible to debug. Performance are good and support is giving us a good service level. There are still some technical points to be developed more (such as SAP extraction). but easy flows are really fast to be developed. We are also using a tool for migration from other tools, and it is useful as Matillion is producing XML code.

It is a powerful tool for copying files along with their associated metadata and version history. It integrates seamlessly with Microsoft 365 and supports workflow migrations. However, it may not be ideal for non-technical users. Currently, it does not support Power Platform workflow migrations and lacks a pause function—offering only start or stop options during migration.

Usability
Easy tasks are really easy, and complex tasks are still possible. With prior knowledge of general data warehousing principles and experience with other data transformation tools, it's straightforward to get familiar with and use Matillion. I initially used minimal external support from a partner for some more complex tasks but very soon could work entirely independently with Matillion.

Overall, I am very satisfied with the ShareGate tool, which is used effectively for migration purposes, not only to migrate the contents from SharePoint to SharePoint but also to the contents from file share to SharePoint. This tool helps us review the warnings/errors from the migrations quickly and helps us identify what caused the errors. I hope the ShareGate product team will consider migration of power automated workflows using this tool in future releases.

The tool is generally very reliable, with minimal downtime or unplanned outages. It performs consistently during migrations and administrative tasks, and users rarely encounter critical application errors.

Performance
No answers on this topic
In most cases, ShareGate performs well—pages load quickly, and reports are generated in a reasonable timeframe, even for moderately complex environments. Its interface is responsive, and it handles standard migrations and administrative tasks efficiently. However, performance can slow down during very large migrations or when processing high volumes of data, especially if the source or destination environments are heavily customized

Support Rating
Overall, I've found Matillion to be responsive and considerate. I feel like they value us as a customer even when I know they have customers who spend more on the product than we do. That speaks to a motive higher than money. They want to make a good product and a good experience for their customers. If I have any complaint, it's that support sometimes feels community-oriented. It isn't always immediately clear to me that my support requests are going to a support engineer and not to the community at large. Usually, though, after a bit of conversation, it's clear that Matillion is watching and responding. And responses are generally quick in coming.

Haven't needed it that many times. But they respond very fast and are knowledgeable. They are easy to reach!

You only need some global admin consent after that you can do almost anything which is available in the app.

Alternatives Considered
We selected Matillion primarily because of it's ability to connect to numerous data sources and easily create transformation jobs. While Fivetran does a better job managing and examining deltas, it is not easy to use and is very non user friendly. SSIS was not a good fit for our team and required a significant amount of attention and server management that we did not want to invest in.

Sharegate is superior in most ways except teams sites migration to GCC high tenant. It’s not possible with Sharegate but abitTitan can somewhat migrate teams to GCC high tenants. I wish MS would make available the Graph for GCC so we can utilize Sharegate Team migration tools! We love the other Teams admin tools available!

Scalability
We're using Matillion on EC2 instances, and we have about 20 projects for our clients in the same instance. Sometimes, we're struggling to manage schedules for all projects because thread management is not visible, and we can't see the process at the instance level.

ShareGate scales well across departments and sites, supporting large migrations and tenant moves with strong Microsoft 365 integration. However, it lacks advanced automation, Power Platform support, and pause/resume functionality, which can limit its effectiveness in highly complex or enterprise-scale environments.

Return on Investment
  • Time savings -- we could custom code nearly everything Matillion does, but it would take days/weeks instead of minutes/hours.
  • There's a bit of a learning curve to truly unlock Matillion's potential, and that can be frustrating for some new users, but once you get over that curve, the possibilities are endless.
  • It allows us to centralize the hundreds of way to bring data in, so that even if you have to troubleshoot what someone else wrote, it's easy to jump in and understand what is happening.

  • Share gate has saved my colleagues and I hundreds of hours of migration headaches
  • Share Gates reporting tools as an administrator make my job very very simple.
  • The ROI could be measured alone in man hours saved migrating environments. That alone has probably paid for the licensing cost

ShareGate Screenshots

Screenshot of the ShareGate migration tool – from migration to content management, it is used to migrate to Microsoft 365, move channels in Teams, and merge tenants.Screenshot of the Permissions Matrix Report used to validate, monitor and manage permissions for internal and external users. It is also used to audit permissions security without scripting, or update permissions in bulk.Screenshot of the built-in and custom reports that offer an overview of SharePoint and Teams inventory. They display what exists, and who created it.Screenshot of the team management interface, used to manage a SharePoint team and communication sites without PowerShell scripts. It is also used to build governance policies, and automatically spot risks, gaps and clutter.Screenshot of a display of who can do what in the SharePoint environment. From the interface, users can copy and edit permissions in bulk, control and review external sharing and guest access, or delegate control to owners to review, without leaving Teams.Screenshot of the interface where users can provision their workspaces using templates, with guardrails in place – like minimum owners, blueprint sites, naming conventions, multiple approvers, and privacy level.
