BI Developer at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Fast in taking unstructured data, processing it and spitting out all the different data types. The team moved to SSIS/SSRS, I suspect it didn’t fit in with the goal of creating a data warehouse.
The manual calculations and formulae. They were a bit complex. The formulae were a bit abstract. Not easy to understand. Not intuitive. I sat beside an SSIS guru and he took one look at them and said “Good luck Geoff”. I coded them all and after I left, I got a call from a techy there asking me what they were all about! He hadn’t a clue how to unravel them, even with documentation. Also, they managed to accidentally delete them all. No idea how they did that. After a few panic-filled phone calls, they dropped the whole thing. It was a mess there. Glad I left.

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

"Pandora provides a quick, efficient way to analyze, control and improve data using integrated technology."
"It is excellent for data profiling."
"The product allowed us to complete the project on time and within budget and is continuing to be used on subsequent Data Migration/Integration projects."
"We were easily able to merge the two sets of data and find the inconsistencies between the two allowing us to complete this part of the project in speedy fashion."
"The customer service was very good."
"It has given us the ability to build information that wasn’t otherwise there, to build confidence in our applications, to troubleshoot data effectively and focus our efforts on genuine errors."
"X88 gave a quick view of the quality of the data and a rapid way to fix issues before exporting for use."
"The solution enables robust data matching, merging, survivorship, and Data Stewardship that can be a part of data quality workflows or true master data management."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"Maybe the best thing is the product's easy start-up level when you are familiar with Java."
"We’re also able to respond much more quickly to changes and demands from the business, as we can create and change jobs quickly and provide new data for reports within hours."
"The best features Qlik Talend Cloud offers include the fact that it is built on Java, which gives me the chance to customize my requirements and write my own Java code to achieve my logic."
"The solution is customizable."
"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
 

Cons

"The free data profiler doesn't contain enough dashboards to give the user a better feel of the program."
"The online training is very useful but needs expanding and updating – it has loads of potential."
"The tool was very unstable and was constantly hogging the resources, even if was not operating at the moment."
"It is way, way over-priced in my opinion."
"The product appears to be horizontally scalable, but is not something I would use in a large scale automated architecture."
"End to End connectivity could do with some improvement which I believe they are working on at this time."
"The usage of memory. This tool uses a huge amount of memory."
"The stability is good but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"There are no natural connections for some of the applications that I use more regularly."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I have been using the open-source version."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"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 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."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
