AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making
I usually implement Precisely and Collibra tools for clients to enhance data quality. My main use case involves working with the data catalog of Precisely to integrate data management processes and ensure data governance Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which…

Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.

Pros

"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
 

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"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."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"They lack in memory capacity."
