SQL Power Data Quality vs Talend Data Quality comparison

"The Nomo, select form, and so on are the most valuable features."

"The solution is able to integrate with many systems and other products."

"It is a scalable solution. We have over 1,000 SQL Power Data Quality users in our organization."

"It’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."

"​This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted.​"

"The solution is customizable."

"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."

"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."

"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."

"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."

"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."

"The normalization factor should be improved so that it is better scaled. It should be more user-friendly."

"The only area of improvement that we've come across within the solution was the portfolio roadmap creation. There's a bit of limitation there, but otherwise, the tool itself is very good."

"Downtime issues should be improved."

"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."

"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."

"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."

"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."

"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."

"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."

"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
