Is easy to deploy and is free, but marketing strategies need improvement
We use Ataccama DQ Analyzer to analyze data migration from one source to another. We use it to clean up the data I like that there is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it free. It is also easy to deploy. They could focus more on marketing the product. The current…
WesamHabboub - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"It is also easy to deploy."
"The data profile itself is excellent. You can understand the quality of the data in layman's terms."
"The solution is customizable."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"The file fetch process is impeccable."
"We have used value frequency and patterns. We have been it impressed with these functions as they have helped us in making decisions in transformation work."
"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."
"​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 numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."
 

Cons

"They could focus more on marketing the product. The current marketing strategy is not working."
"Although DQA can fetch data from most of the commonly used data sources, it has limited modifiers to get data, meaning that the number of technologies from which the data can be acquired is limited. For example, DQA does not support fetching data from Twitter or Facebook. Many competitors have this feature."
"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."
"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There is no need to buy a license. You can just download it and use it for free."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"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."
