Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.
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 data lineage is great."
"It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."
"The interface is really user-friendly."
"The solution provides an end-to-end integrated tech stack that takes care of all utility/infrastructure topics for you."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"I like the data onboarding to Palantir Foundry and ETL creation."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
 

Cons

"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure."
"If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."
"There is not a wide user base for the solution's online documentation so it is sometimes difficult to find answers."
"Some error messages can be very cryptic."
"It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry."
"The workflow could be improved."
"The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The security features could be improved."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive."
"Palantir Foundry is an expensive solution."
"The solution’s pricing is high."
"Palantir Foundry has different pricing models that can be negotiated."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"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."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
