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."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"Talend Data Integration has positively impacted my organization because it is used for master management data, which I think most other components lack, but Talend Data Integration has that capability for using master management data as standard data."
"It’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."
"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."
"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
 

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."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"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."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
 

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 tool is cheap."
"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."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"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."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
