Microsoft Data Quality Services vs Talend Data Quality comparison

"This solution is particularly useful for data enrichment."

"It’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."

"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."

"The solution is customizable."

"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"

"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."

"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."

"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"

"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."

"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being extremely challenging. So, there is room for improvement in the setup process."

"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."

"You can't join more than two tables for 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."

"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."

"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."

"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."

"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."

"The pricing is in the midrange. It's not cheap, but it depends on the licenses you require."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"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."

"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."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
