Ataccama ONE Platform vs Talend Data Quality comparison

"The notable aspect lies in the workflow structure, where building the workflow aligns significantly with data governance."

"The desktop version of the solution was particularly valuable to me, primarily for creating components. We opted for the data quality aspect to assess the quality of our data warehouse. The functionalities available allowed us to not only check data quality but also serve as an ETL tool. This versatility enabled data transformation and storage in various formats, including files on platforms like SharePoint or local online directories. The flexibility of the tool catered to the specific needs of those building components, contributing to our desired outcomes."

"Customer service was excellent, and I would give it a ten out of ten."

"The product’s important feature is data profiling and quality check."

"The drag-and-drop feature is incredibly flexible and straightforward."

"The ease of use of the user console is valuable."

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

"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder.​"

"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."

"I like idea of storing the results of Data Quality jobs in a DB and having the ability to run reports in the DB to show a dashboard of quality metrics."

"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."

"The solution is customizable."

"The Studio is easy to understand."

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

"It is complicated to fetch 20-25 reports when we profile the data."

"I believe it would be beneficial if it could enhance its flexibility to connect with a wider range of downstream systems beyond just Excel and Postgres."

"The interfacing to tools such as Collibra was somewhat cumbersome and required more thought."

"Data movement is a pain."

"Speaking specifically about the version we use, version 12.3, I'm unsure if this has been addressed in subsequent versions. One improvement I'd like to see pertains to the language used in certain components, especially in data quality checks. The language complexity posed a challenge for beginners. Although we had on-site assistance from Ataccama, making it manageable for us, some individuals found it difficult to comprehend, necessitating additional support. The provision of a comprehensive guide for on-premise installation can also be enhanced. The lack of detailed information on the solution's workings and the overwhelming nature of notifications, with extensive content, were areas of concern. Streamlining the notification content in newer versions would significantly expedite issue resolution."

"There is a notable challenge in having to provide detailed filters before the site recognizes the search criteria."

"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."

"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."

"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 too many functions which could be streamlined."

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

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

"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."

"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."

"Despite not being extremely low-cost, the pricing appears reasonable, making it a profitable and viable choice for companies that prioritize data security and adhere to specific policies."

"Our licensing model wasn't user-specific; instead, we paid fees for the engine and maintenance. As we didn't have a support contract, maintenance fees were likely nonexistent. Regarding the upgrade, we had an account for the initial two or three years, and considering the features provided by the solution, the pricing was reasonable."

"The product is reasonably priced."

"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 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."

"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."
