Technical Architect at LTIMindtree
It acts as a dedicated VIP channel for communication between two private IP addresses, allowing only restricted users to access it
The setup of Azure Private Link within SQL Server could be made much easier. If there was a simple button for setup, that would be helpful. The process of setting up the private link and connecting the database with the correct naming convention is a complex process. I would recommend to allow access to restricted public access and private endpoint functionality. Currently, it's either public or private, but having the option for both would be beneficial. This allows public users to work through the public channel and vice versa.

Has automated recurring data flows and improved accuracy in reporting
The best features of Talend Data Integration are its rich set of components that let you connect to almost any data design intuitive and its strong automation and scheduling capabilities. The TMap component is especially valuable because it allows flexible transformation, joins, and filtering in a single place. I also rely a lot on context variables to manage different environments like Dev, Test, and production, without changing the code. The error handling and logging tools are very helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting, which makes the workflow more reliable. Talend Data Integration has helped our company by automating and standardizing data processes. Before, many of these tasks were done manually, which took more time and often led to errors. With Talend Data Integration, we built automated pipelines that extract, clean, and load data consistently. This not only saves hours of manual effort, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of data. As a result, business teams had faster access to trustworthy information for reporting and decision making, which directly improved efficiency and productivity. Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization. By automating daily data loading processes, we reduced manual effort by around three or four hours per day, which saved roughly 60 to 80 hours per month. We also improved data accuracy. Error rates dropped by more than 70% because validation rules were built into the jobs. In addition, reporting teams now receive fresh data at least 50% faster, which means they can make decisions earlier and with more confidence. Overall, Talend Data Integration has increased both efficiency and reliability in our data workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Azure Private Link ensures that any kind of transaction or activity on the cloud uses private IPs and is detached from the external world, preventing malicious access."
"The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work."
"Flexibility is a key feature I appreciate about Talend Data Integration, especially the integration of Java within it and the ease of integrating with multiple source repositories such as GitHub and Bitbucket."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
"The Studio is easy to understand."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
 

Cons

"The setup of Azure Private Link within SQL Server could be made much easier. If there was a simple button for setup, that would be helpful. The process of setting up the private link and connecting the database with the correct naming convention is a complex process."
"Qlik Talend Cloud could be improved with more advanced monitoring and flexible alerts, as well as better job performance visibility."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Qlik Talend Cloud is doing well, but one improvement could be the integration of development functionalities we use in Talend Studio directly onto the Talend browser."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"The tool is cheap."
