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

"Among the most valuable features are the EDI translator and a lot of the components which enable creating compliance sets. Having something standard out-of-the-box and being able to use that has been a huge benefit for us."
"We can code in Java, which is really good feature. There is very vast command available, which can be used in mapping."
"SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite is a highly stable solution that offers rich features for our B2B integration."
"It has enabled digital business processes. It's the connection between our ERP system and the rest of the company. We were able to automate processing invoices digitally like an inbound invoice and FastPay payments."
"The ease of integration of the SEEBURGER product into SAP was pretty seamless. There wasn't any trouble, there weren't any complexities."
"SEEBURGER has helped us to enable digital business transformation. Every time we add a new customer, there is a digital footprint. This is no longer a manual process."
"Having the SEEBURGER consulting team perform the installation alleviates a lot of headaches and ensures a stable system."
"It is stable and reliable. We have not had any issues."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
 

Cons

"There might be some improvements they could make to the portal, but they're not anything that stops me from working."
"There are some aspects at the front, the actual queries that you use, that could be improved. They're all very minor to be honest."
"The product is not integrated very well with different cloud providers. We did work with the vendor to build a solution for Amazon, but there is no solution for other cloud providers like Google or Azure. The vendor needs to create adapters so that if we have a requirement to transfer data from our data center to another cloud, outside of Amazon, we would be delighted with that."
"Their traditional model is a vendor flow. We are looking to do a customer-based flow, which which require significant development from SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). We are working with them to do this using their WebEDI. It is a brand new area for them, but it could be an option in the future."
"The initial setup is not the straightforward. It took couple of months for us to set up."
"Java is very old technology and they should move away from it, to anything that's better."
"In some of the other tools out there in the market, you can create one service and use that service without creating a copy. That kind of capability currently doesn't exist in this solution."
"All the topics we've identified have been placed on the SEEBURGER roadmap already... Among the things we have requested are improvements in the user interface and improvements that would be implemented by completely new modules or improvements in their Cloud Services."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We have additional ad hoc development costs, but those vary depending on if we're bringing on another third-party into our systems via the EDI integration. So, that's highly variable."
"The pricing seems to be competitive and the maintenance is standard."
"The solution provides the flexibility to start small and pay as you grow. SEEBURGER has a lot of offerings..."
"I have had exposure to other big vendors over the years and would have to say the pricing is pretty typical. They all fall into a common pricing range, at least the bigger vendors: Axway, IBM Sterling, Globalscape, and SEEBURGER. They all fall into that mid-tier pricing. So, SEEBURGER is commensurate with other large integration vendors operating in this space. Maybe it is lower than some of the really high-end ones. You can get some of these high-end transactional messaging integration systems, like TIBCO, that tend to be kind of on a higher echelon of pricing. I would say SEEBURGER is more mid-level."
"The cost-based model is slightly different now in SEEBURGER Business Integration Suite (BIS). They changed the licensing, based on adapters and other things. In the old style of licensing, the whole suite was one license..."
"Price and licensing are comparable to other systems. It's well-priced and simple. It's not user-based or anything. It's just per seat, per system. So, it's pretty straight forward. Because it's per system, one system is enough. However, if you want to make it larger, then you can grow with it."
"We pay maintenance of between $75,000 and $100,000 per year, per box."
"On an annual basis, our support costs, which are based on the licensing, are about £120,000."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"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."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"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."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"It is an open-source product."
