A stable and scalable tool with data handling capabilities and an amazing technical support
I am from the data visualization team and used SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. This year, my team has stopped the use of SAS VA and SAS Data Integration Server. We have a separate team that uses SAS Data Integration Server since they belong to the data management team. I recommend the solution to those organizations that have a very large scale of data to handle so that they can utilize the solution's data handling capabilities. Organizations can go with the solution's on-premises or cloud version. Since the cost of the on-premises version of the solution is huge, I recommend businesses go with the cloud version. I rate the overall product between seven to eight out of ten.

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 solution is very stable."
"The solution offers very good data manipulation and loading."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its amazing capabilities in regard to data handling."
"A very user friendly solution."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
 

Cons

"The initial setup of SAS Data Integration Server was complex."
"The transform tool has limited access. They should make it more flexible."
"So I would like to see improved integration with other software."
"The security features could be improved."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive program."
"It is an open-source product."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
