Neelima Golla - PeerSpot reviewer
Senior Software Engineer at NessPRO Italy
A hybrid integration platform that applies the functionality of closed-loop AI automation
I recommend using it because, in today's context, the cloud plays a significant role. Within the same user interface, you can develop applications and manage multiple applications, making it a more user-friendly option. Moreover, you can explore various other technologies while deploying on the cloud, broadening your knowledge of cloud technologies. In my case, the transition led to my learning of Kubernetes, enabling multi-scaling and expanding my technical skills. It was a valuable experience, and I had the opportunity to learn many new things during the migration process. I can easily rate it an eight or nine out of ten.

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

"The most preferable aspect would be the elimination of the command, which was a significant improvement. In the past, it was a challenge, but now we can proceed smoothly with the implementation of our policies and everything is managed through JCP. It's still among the positive aspects, and it's a valuable feature."
"Redirection is a key feature. It helps in managing multiple microservices by centralizing control and access."
"In general, the solution works very, very well."
"It is a stable solution."
"The most valuable aspect of the Cloud Pak, in general, is the flexibility that you have to use the product."
"Cloud Pak for Integration is definitely scalable. That is the most important criteria."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"What I like about the Talend MDM Platform is that it's a good vendor diagnostic tool."
"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."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"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."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"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."
 

Cons

"The pricing can be improved."
"Setting up Cloud Pak for Integration is relatively complex. It's not as easy because it has not yet been fully integrated. You still have some products that are still not containerized, so you still have to run them on a dedicated VM."
"Enterprise bots are needed to balance products like Kafka and Confluent."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"What needs to be improved is the restriction that they have on the product."
"Its queuing and messaging features need improvement."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The usage of memory. This tool uses a huge amount of memory."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
"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."
"Account for Java developers/custom development efforts apart from DQ functional/technical expertise, to use Talend DQ product to the fullest."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
"The setup cost is very expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's pricing model is very flexible."
"It is an expensive solution."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"I have been using the open-source version."
