Vivek Trivedi - PeerSpot reviewer
Has robust data governance capabilities and efficient financial alerting features
The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards. Our dedicated data governance team is responsible for setting policies and monitoring data access and usage. Additionally, we have a Data Protection Officer (DPO) and an independent InfoSec team that work together to enforce these policies. This multi-layered approach ensures that data governance is effectively managed and compliant with all necessary regulations. It is integrated with SQL and Power BI servers for executive management dashboard reporting. This integration supports comprehensive data analysis and reporting needs, which was a key factor in our decision. The value of using vCenter lies in its comprehensive data infrastructure management. It significantly enhances our reporting, day-to-day decision-making, and analytics capabilities. Integrating SaaS with vCenter adds value by streamlining key functions and improving overall organizational efficiency. The solution can be considered expensive, particularly due to infrastructure, maintenance, and ownership costs. The long-term savings and efficiencies gained from using vCenter can justify the investment for large organizations. However, the high costs might not be justifiable for smaller organizations with less data and fewer resources. Conducting a thorough cost-benefit analysis based on the organization's specific needs and scale is recommended. I rate it an eight.
Srinivas Mamidipalli - PeerSpot reviewer
Built for everything and packed with features but there are some monitoring limitations
Our company uses the solution to provide data integration services for customers. Most of our implementations are on-premises for large or enterprise-level customers.  We have six users with experience in both the local studio and the enterprise versions.  The solution can run on any machine and…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"The platform's robust data governance capabilities ensure strong compliance with regulatory standards."
"The technical support is excellent."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
 

Cons

"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We implemented it a while ago, and we are trying to improve the data delivery performance. We are looking into how to get faster and automated reporting. We would need better designs and workflows."
"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing model for vCenter is a perpetual license with yearly payments."
"The solution is expensive."
"The tool is a bit expensive."
"While it is even free for personal use on the cloud, it can be expensive for desktop installations and enterprise use."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The tool is cheap."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
