Lead Database Administrator at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints
I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.
Sushrit Moundekar - PeerSpot reviewer
Program Manager at InfoCepts
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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"Faster and reliable integration jobs."
"Talend as an ETL tool is very powerful, allowing for a lot of connections to any database source, and the connectivity was one of the main reasons we started working with Talend."
"The solution, in general, offers us a lot of great advantages."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"We are totally satisfied with this product."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
 

Cons

"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"The solution's data management platform needs improvement."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC. Also, the support could be better."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
