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…

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

"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"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."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"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 solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"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."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
 

Cons

"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"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."
"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 stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The tool is cheap."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"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 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."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"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."
