High performance and flexible solution for companies with large amounts of data

Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Co>Operating System's most valuable feature is its ability to process bulk data effectively."
"Ab Initio Co>Operating System support is the best I have encountered."
"Ab Initio reaches the highest performance and is very flexible in processing huge amounts of data."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"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 most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"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."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
 

Cons

"Co>Operating System would be improved with more integrations for less well-known technologies."
"An awesome improvement would be big data solutions, for example, implementing some kind of business intelligence or neural networks for artificial intelligence."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"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."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice
