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…
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
 

Cons

"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."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"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 solution needs more integrations."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"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."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The tool is cheap."
"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 solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."

"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."

"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
