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. Unexpected Efficiency: We started out with three developer licenses. I'm not sure we've even used all of them. After the first year, we didn't actually need any more licenses because the guys that were using it were getting through ten times as much work as we expected. So we don't actually have enough work for six developers, let alone the three developers that use it one day a week. We've spent time on building templates and standard patterns, and as a result, within a year, our workload was pretty much down to zero. We're probably about a year ahead of schedule compared to our original roadmap. Overall Value: So, it is very pricey, but we've been able to chew through the work so fast that it's actually hard to justify buying more licenses.
The solution's pricing depends on the case. In the past, the pricing was based on the number of users and not on the data volumes or the number of CPUs, like other products. From this perspective, Talend Open Studio was cheaper. The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers. Since Qlik purchased Talend, they've brought new pricing methods. The tool has now become more flexible in coping with the number of customers, developers, and volumes.

We are using the tool's free version because the enterprise version is a little expensive. You would need three enterprise servers if you are going for a full-scale lifecycle, like development, quality, and production. That would be expensive because the servers have yearly costs.
Pricing is competitive in comparison with Pentaho. Both are at par. Solutions such as Informatica could be more expensive. Certain packaged solutions that use Talend as ETL may be available, if you are looking for a pre-built data warehouse model.
Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost. However, down the road when we use the Professional version, there will be costs. I don't know what the cost will be because I'm not involved in that, but I know that there is a license at that point.
I don't deal with corporate and pricing. I am just an IT Consultant. I honestly don't know the costs to run the solution. I don't know the price. I know people in the finance department are often complaining about the price, however, I don't know what the exact number is. It's all relative, after all. I have a very strong Oracle background and the Oracle price is totally outrageous. I don't believe that Talend prices are in the same ballpark as Oracle. I don't understand why people are complaining. That said, I don't deal with signing contracts and processes so I really don't know.
