Featured Reviews

Andres-Martinez - PeerSpot reviewer
BI Data Analytics Engineer at Targa Research
Helps with metadata management, saves time, and allows us to do impact analysis on any changes
There are always ways to improve things. For example, we can use AI to be able to find out something. When we are typing something, if we don't know the exact term, Artificial Intelligence would be useful to find terms that are phonetically or syntactically similar. Instead of having to type in the exact name, they can provide those in the list. So, they can provide AI support for the search because when you have thousands and thousands of terms, it is hard to remember all the names. There were some issues when drawing the data models. If you have more than 500 or 600 tables, it takes a long time to display those in the right position on the screen. That can also be improved. They need some caching and some parallel pipelines working on the backend in order to divide it into sections.
Sushrit Moundekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Program Manager at InfoCepts
Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"When you combine it with data lineage, every time you need to make a change, it allows you to do impact analysis on any changes and then connect to the end-users or data stewards so that they can be aware that a change is coming. That's one of the main benefits we use it for."
"The data catalog feature is pretty good."
"This product is very easy to use."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
 

Cons

"There are always ways to improve things. For example, we can use AI to be able to find out something. When we are typing something, if we don't know the exact term, Artificial Intelligence would be useful to find terms that are phonetically or syntactically similar. Instead of having to type in the exact name, they can provide those in the list. So, they can provide AI support for the search because when you have thousands and thousands of terms, it is hard to remember all the names."
"There is room for improvement with respect to the connector and how to connect to the structured and unstructured database."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"There is a need for mastery in some areas."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am not very familiar with its pricing. I know it is not cheap, but it is also not super expensive. It depends on the company size. For a company making $1 million, it is very expensive. For a company making 10 million and above, it might be okay."
"Erwin Data Catalog is very expensive."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
