Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python."
"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical."
"We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"The product has a good user interface."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"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 most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
 

Cons

"The product's scalability needs improvement. Perhaps adding more connectors would be beneficial."
"Scalability in Matillion Data Productivity Cloud has some limitations. Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required."
"The tool's lineage is very weak."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS."
"In the next release, we would like to have connections to more databases."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"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."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It was procured through the AWS Marketplace because it keeps things simple. They offer retail-like checkout and bill through your existing Amazon Web Services account."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"The product must improve its pricing."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"I have heard from my manager and other higher ups, "This product is cheaper than other things on the market," and they have done the research."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
