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.

Quotes from Members

Pros

"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"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."
"The technical support is excellent."
"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."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"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."
 

Cons

"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."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"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."
"Integration and cloud migration are areas where we see potential for improvement."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"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."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."

"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"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."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
