Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues

There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy

Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"Good data transformation."

"Alteryx is user-friendly and allows easy creation of workflows compared to Informatica PowerCenter."

"The modeling features are very good."

"The most valuable feature of Alteryx is its performance. It is a powerful solution."

"The ease-of-use allows non-technical business users to directly create their own solutions without the use of additional development resources."

"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."

"I like that I can merge data from different sources into one place."

"Automation is the most valuable aspect for us. The ability to wrap business logic around the data is very helpful."

More Alteryx pros

"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."

"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."

"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."

"This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted."

"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."

"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder."

"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."

"The solution enables robust data matching, merging, survivorship, and Data Stewardship that can be a part of data quality workflows or true master data management."

More Talend Data Quality pros

Cons

"Alteryx's predictive data models are pretty average and can be improved."

"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."

"The GUI interface functions but it could stand to be updated to a more modern look and feel."

"There are no ready models to use in analytics."

"They should make the solution user-friendly for nontechnical people by giving specific names to the options."

"The solution is improving continuously. They have, for example, just added automatic insights. If they continue to improve on their overall service offering, that would be ideal."

"The server is too expensive for what you get and it really a designer desktop on a server."

"I think better visualization would be helpful to this solution."

More Alteryx cons

"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."

"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."

"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."

"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."

"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."

"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."

"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."

More Talend Data Quality cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's pricing a two out of ten."

"Alteryx is generally more suited for medium—to large companies due to its potentially high licensing costs."

"It's very expensive. I'd rate it a four out of ten in terms of the price. It's great for big companies but not for small companies."

"The price could be better."

"It can be a bit pricey, especially after the first year."

"It is an expensive solution."

"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."

"The license is really expensive, we cannot afford to have two or three. It takes away all the budget of my area."

More Alteryx pricing and cost advice

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
