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

"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"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 most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"Stability feels fine."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"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."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"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."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"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."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
