Data Management & Governance
IOblend:
- Ensures data integrity with features like automatic record-level lineage, CDC, SCD, metadata management, de-duping, cataloguing, compaction, schema drifts, windowing, regressions, eventing, late-arriving data, etc. integrated in every data pipeline.
- Connects to any data source via ESB/API/JDBC/flat files, both batch and real-time streaming (inc. JDBC) with CDC (supports all three log, trigger and query based).
Matillion:
- Focuses on transforming and loading data with efficiency, while offering features for monitoring and logging to ensure transparency.
Cost & Licensing
IOblend:
- The Developer Edition is free, while the Enterprise Edition requires a paid annual license (unlimited users/usage) that includes training and support.
Matillion:
- Adopts a consumption-based pricing model, making it flexible for businesses of varying sizes.
Deployment & Flexibility
IOblend:
- Deploys fully inside the customer environments: on-prem and cloud, residing entirely inside the client’s security net.
