Talend Data Management Platform Reviews

Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) transformations are open source and is a valuable feature.

ETL has simplified our integration procedures.

The ETL transformations could be faster.

Yes. With K rows it runs fine. With M rows, it runs too slowly and has memory issues.

Somehow straightforward, but could be be less complex.

We implemented with a combination of a vendor team and our own in-house team. The vendor team level of expertise was low.

We haven't calculated our ROI.

The setup cost is high. Day-to-day cost is somewhat medium.

We did not evaluate other options.

I was using the Talend Data Management Platform to ship data from the source to the website, and I was using the Talend administration console to monitor the different data flex and developing new data flex.

The new data flex was deployed to our servers. We are also using the same Talend administration for tasks, monitoring the tasks, and for developing the tasks.

We have four to five servers running on Talend.

The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component.

Having the ability to mix both my own code created in Java with the predefined components is helpful.

It is easy to face issues and meet any of the client's needs.

We were using TAC for the testing environments and another TAC for the production environment. We had to promote our code manually from one environment to another.

I would like to see them add a feature in TAC that exists in TMC where you have the ability with different environments to promote code easily from one to the other.

They lack in memory capacity. We had to add a new job server to deal with the new system we had.

I would like to see components added with routing and web services. We have many subsystems that are not being used with Talend to make them communicate. It would be better to have unified systems within Talend to be able to do so. Having it directly in Talend Data Management would be nice, or an ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) or some web service applications. Also to have a unified TAC, actually just having one environment or one Infospace for the entire environment.

This solution is scalable. When we had to add new data flex we were just parallelizing, having different jobs running in Talend on five different job servers.

I haven't had the need to contact technical support. When I have had issues, the Talend portal is there and there is a Talend Help Centre where you have discussions and blogs. I was able to find answers there. 

Previously, we were using TAC (Talend Administrative Console).

License renewal is on a yearly basis.

I have never spoken with Talend technical support directly over the phone or by mail, I was able to find my answers on the web. Overall, I am satisfied with Talend and I recommend it.

I would rate Talend an eight out of ten.

Private Cloud

• It meets our operational and analytical data integration needs by providing us with a high performing set of tools to access, transform and integrate data in real time. • Provides us a central repository for sharing our enterprise metadata among business users, developers and IT staff, so we can access and share a single version of information. • It helped us in handling huge data volumes, remote execution of jobs, interacting with cloud data sources and deployment on cloud infrastructure. • We can centrally supervise our software integration processes by using Talend's advanced monitoring capabilities.

• Lots of errors and system crashes during installation and IMHO we didn’t receive good enough technical support and guidance from Talend to solve the issues. • It doesn’t support multitasking.

One of the reasons we chose the Talend integration suite was because it is an open source data integration tool. It provides us a central repository for sharing our enterprise metadata and meets our operational and analytical data integration needs. We like the fact that it offers data quality functionality, ESB and MDM solutions in a single package. We can easily manage huge data volumes and centrally supervise our software integration processes.
