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."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"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."
"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"The Studio is easy to understand."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"If your use case depends on heterogeneous sources like Salesforce, SAP, and some other product information systems, I would recommend Talend."
"Qlik Talend Cloud positively impacted my organization by enabling businesses to accelerate data decisions very easily and reducing execution time."
 

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."
"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"Qlik Talend Cloud has impacted my organization by increasing the license cost, leading many companies to decide to decommission Talend, as they find the cost too high."
"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."
"Sometimes when working with larger datasets (possibly due to insufficient memory)."
"The setup cost is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"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 pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"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."
