Offers profiling and address standardization but can be complicated
Informatica Data Quality has its data warehouse, primarily using Oracle and some SQL databases. You need a database to host the data. The cleansed version of the data is stored in the data warehouse. It integrates with PowerCenter and other Informatica tools. The integration details can be complex, but a regional setup is involved in this process. Profiling smaller datasets, such as 10,000-50,000 records, worked fine. However, unexpected issues could arise with larger datasets, such as thousands of records or more, especially with tables containing many columns. Handling tables with fifty or more columns can be challenging, even in Excel. A mismatch in data types could cause the entire system to crash. Continual enhancements are being made to address these issues, which can be unique to specific industries like finance and healthcare.

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 quite easy to use and flexible."
"The scalability is very high."
"The interface is really good."
"The solution is straightforward."
"The solution has the best feature for parameterization."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"The solution allows the complete governance process, starting from the data quality, those definitions, and it can get the data quality in the EDC."
"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."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"​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.​"
"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."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"The solution is customizable."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder.​"
 

Cons

"Inserting the GenAI into the master data management will reduce the overall effort of operational activities."
"The tool's performance is an area that should be given further consideration."
"The on-prem solution is harder to learn than the cloud-based versions."
"I would like to see more functionality added so that it is a bit closer to how much you can do with Informatica PowerCenter."
"Their support should be improved. We have had some trouble with their support from time to time. Its scalability should also be improved. I would also like to have a bit more modern and friendly UI for the end-users. There should definitely be a simplified way to configure and set it up."
"It is not easy to set up and configure the tool."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"The product interface could be improved to be more intuitive."
"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"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."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"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."
"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Comparatively, their prices are a little bit too high."
"A yearly subscription is paid based on the number of people using the solution. Price-wise, it falls under the medium range since it is neither very costly nor too cheap."
"The product has a high price point."
"Informatica Axon is a costly solution. I rate Informatica Axon a four out of ten for its pricing."
"Cost-wise, I think it is on the higher side, and that is why we are looking for some better options. Licensing costs are huge compared to other players in the market and for my company."
"I have no idea what the price actually is. It is probably not going to be the cheapest, but it is a pretty stable and robust platform from the backend standpoint."
"We saw an ROI. We have been able to get data from various sources and consolidate it into a data lake, which is helping us in data analytics."
"It is cost effective and an easily accessible tool."
"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."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
