An easy-to-setup solution with good stability
We use Jitterbit to connect cloud solutions with our on-premises ERP system We connect cloud solutions to our on-premise ERP system easily using Jitterbit. It is its most valuable feature.  The solution's API management capabilities need improvement. We have been using the solution for almost…
Sushrit Moundekar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
 

Cons

"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"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."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It is an open-source product."
