Data professional at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simple, stable, and allows us to handle data from various sources, but needs enterprise features for logging, recoverability, and monitoring
If I could give any advice to the guys who are developing it, I would suggest them to really look at the enterprise features, such as being able to log what's going on, being able to capture the current state of processing, and being able to recover from error situations. So, there should be a focus on logging, recoverability, and monitoring. We should be able to monitor what's going on, and in case of any issues, we should be able to recover and restart processing and other things. For scalability and performance, I would probably suggest the Pushdown feature so that you can do the transformation directly on the data source. You do not need to do that calculation within the ETL server. For this, you should be aware of the type of data because each database or kind of storage, such as Hadoop, has its own ANSI standard or language, such as SQL. Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM have their own language. Based on the feedback that I have got, its initial setup takes some time. It could perhaps be simpler.

Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"We are totally satisfied with this product."

"A very user friendly solution."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."

"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"TAC could be improved."
"The open-source version does not include the parallel execution; neither the source code versioning or the project collaboration features."
"The Enterprise Version needs to be more similar to the Talend Open Studio."
"There is room for improvement in the performance - it gets the job done but it can be a bit slow, but then it is a free product."
"It's simple to install, but sometimes you can get stuck with things so implementation can take longer which is a bit of a pain for us."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price and value for money would be okay for our purpose if there were some additional features."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
