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.

A java based platform, which is used for application integration and has a user-friendly GUI
I haven't encountered any drawbacks with TIBCO BusinessWorks so far. Despite being a new user for the past year, everything has been smooth, including development and deployment. Challenges with TIBCO BusinessWorks were mainly due to unclear documentation, but these were overcome by referring to comprehensive documents and raising tickets with TIBCO support.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"This product is very easy to use."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"We use the solution to develop applications."
"We are using only plugins for the database and SAP."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"It is a seamless and sophisticated tool."
"The most valuable features are the stability and the time to market."
"The Business Studio interface based on SCA Standards helps to show the business logic at first look and improve code maintenance."
"The tool's most valuable feature is BusinessConnect. It's an older product but still quite useful, especially for transferring files from one location to another."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
 

Cons

"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"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."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"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."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"Could be more user friendly in the development area."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"Cloud fitness is lacking"
"There are not many plugins available to integrate the databases. We have to write it in Java and integrate it. The developers should have more knowledge. These are the three main aspects that they could improve."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"A possible improvement could be to give the capability to use different profiles for each AppNode when an application is deployed on an AppSpace."
"The container-based image is too large and this makes auto-scaling difficult."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks needs to improve its digital IDs and data processing capabilities. It will benefit small and medium businesses."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"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 costs about 11,000 a year."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks is expensive."
"It is a bit expensive for medium-sized companies. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The existing licensing will not work because the product platform itself is different."
"I don't have the prices of the products, but I know that TIBCO is not a cheap solution. I think that this solution is more suitable for large companies because I don't think that small- or medium-sized companies would have the money for this solution. WSO2 has the community version for free, so many of the smaller companies can use it. I'm not sure what the prices are for support, though, so I suppose the support for WSO2 is not cheap either."
"The cost depends on the components required."
"My understanding is that the licensing is very costly."
"I think BusinessWorks is more expensive compared to other products. We have the ELA, so at least we have some sort of bargain or discount with that. But for a start-up, it's very expensive compared to other ESBs."
"I would rate the solution's pricing a three out of ten."
"Licensing scheme is too rigid"
