Featured Reviews

Jitendra Jena - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.
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

"It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation."
"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"Matillion's technical support is excellent."
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources."
"The new version with the Productivity Cloud is very simple. It's easy to use, navigate, and understand."
"The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity; if you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality."
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its ease of use. If you have had some experience with other solutions, such as Snowflake, the use of this solution will be simple."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
 

Cons

"Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"There are problems with GCP connectivity. Specifically, connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex, and the optimization of the extraction process requires improvements."
"To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster."
"There are certain functions that are available in other ETL tools which are still not present in Matillion ETL. It would be good to have more features."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"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."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is cost-effective. Based on our use case, it's efficient and cheap. It saves a lot of money and our upfront costs are less."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The absence of licensing commitments makes it easy to experiment with the tool, and if we decide it's not suitable, we can simply stop the ETL instance and cease incurring charges."
"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The pricing depends on what edition the customer opts for. For example, the standard edition is priced at $2.00 per credit. And you are only charged when you use it. You're not charged when it's idle."
"Matillion ETL has a pay-as-you-go pricing model of a few dollars per hour of runtime."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"It is not necessarily a cheap solution. However, it's reasonable priced, especially with the smaller machines that we run it on."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"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."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
