Good data quality, but the solution is outdated and difficult to use
The initial setup was complex and not very intuitive. You have to be very knowledgeable to complete the setup, and it is not an easy-to-use tool. It would be sufficient to have one dedicated administrator who can deploy updates and maintain the solution for about 10 to 20 hours a month.

Automated data pipelines have improved analytics workflows and provide trusted reporting data
The best features of Qlik Talend Cloud are its connectors to many systems, databases, APIs, and files, including both SQL and NoSQL databases. The scheduling feature allows me to run jobs automatically in the cloud, and the built-in data quality tools help clean and check data. The reusable components enable me to reuse jobs and parts, which saves time, making it easy to build good data pipelines. The feature that has made the biggest difference for me in Qlik Talend Cloud is the scheduling and automation, which helps me run ETL jobs automatically without manual work. This saves time, reduces errors, and makes the pipelines more stable. In my daily work, I can trust that the data is updated on time and ready for reports and analytics. Qlik Talend Cloud has had a positive impact on my organization by automating data integration processes, reducing manual errors, and ensuring reliable and up-to-date data for reports and business decisions. This has improved operational stability, productivity, and trust in the data. Since using Qlik Talend Cloud, we have reduced manual work, resulting in approximately 20% to 30% time savings in data load processes. We have also seen a reduction in operational errors, mainly due to automation and the data quality checks, and a clear improvement in data reliability since the pipelines became more standardized and monitored.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For basic Business Rule Creation to cleanse Legacy data, it worked as intended."
"You can also schedule and run data quality on the critical data elements on the databases."
"This tool would be very beneficial if used before a data migration or BI project as an initial phase to know the data exactly, and to figure out all data possible scenarios which we might face."
"What's most useful in IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is you can access it from anywhere. It's also pretty easy to learn, so even non-technical business people use it and found the solution easy to learn."
"My advice to others who want to start using IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is that it's a very good product because it has a lot of handy features, and it's a product that's easier to learn and that even non-technical people can use it."
"Information Analyzer is still a good product."
"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."
"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Before, when we wanted solutions and REST APIs, we handed it over to an external company, so it took time, back and forth and all that, but now, with Qlik Talend Cloud, when we want a service, we create it, and in at most one or two days the service is in production and usable, so we save a lot of time."
"Talend is user-friendly and has many components and connectors, which makes it a great choice."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"I would definitely recommend others to implement this product as it is really helpful, easy to learn, user friendly, provides lot of enhanced features, etc."
"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

"Stopped using it. Took a loss."
"IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, particularly its latest version, has some stability issues. My company faced some serious issues with stability and had to repeatedly go to IBM to have the issues fixed."
"As of v9.1, the troubleshooting process is still painful."
"What could be improved or added to IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer is more connectors. This solution comes in a package with IBM InfoSphere DataStage and is missing a lot of connectors to various, new data sources, so IBM needs to work on that area. Compared with competitors such as Informatica and Alation which acquired other small companies to work on the connectors, IBM has not done any testing and has tried to develop the connectors in-house, but that's taking a lot of time. As a result, my company is unable to connect to a lot of data sources, particularly modern data sources."
"The solution is outdated and is not on cloud."
"Customer Service: AverageTechnical Support: Not good"
"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"As it is a open source tool, some minor bugs are there."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For the licensing cost of IBM Infosphere Information Analyzer, I have no information on the exact cost, but as it's bundled with other IBM products such as IBM InfoSphere Information Governance Catalog and IBM InfoSphere DataStage, the bundle is expensive when compared to competitor pricing."
"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."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"The tool is cheap."
"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 product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
