Prominent pros & cons

PROS

Talend Data integration is cost-effective compared to other tools costing around $200 - $300,000.
It supports multiple use cases, integrating with Salesforce, SAP, and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting.
Talend Data integration offers a wide library of connectors.
Integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has proven helpful, providing good performance.
Its most valuable feature is the ability to efficiently generate code and packages.

CONS

There are no concurrent licenses, only seat licenses on cloud, creating challenges when headcount in projects fluctuates as more licenses need to be procured.
Sometimes unidentified bugs require follow-up with the Talend team, causing delays during critical situations for updates and patches.
Technical support needs improvement, including better customer check-ins and assigning customer success managers to accounts.
The absence of a scheduler in the open-source version forces users to develop jobs in Talend, export them as Java packages, and use an external scheduler like Windows Scheduler.
The setup process could be simpler.
 

Talend Data integration Pros review quotes

I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try.

The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets.

There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done.

Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process.

The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell.
