Data protection platform has secured sensitive test data and supports confident project work
In my opinion, Protegrity's Data Protection Platform has really worked well and has done the best work. What it lacks is quality features, but we cannot expect that unless in profiling types of tools. Masking is layered well in different types of data. I can say that the system works well. I have not had any downsides when working with this platform; most of the time it lags down only when we are working on large volumes of data, and that's when we can experience minimal lags. The needed improvement is that the system can be upgraded to be faster and more flexible when it comes to speed, so it can handle large volumes of data without any challenge.

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

"I can fully recommend Protegrity's Data Protection Platform to others looking for data protection and for streamlining data operations in an organization because this is the most flexible platform for managing data in terms of security and production."
"The most valuable feature of Protegrity Data Security is the reduction of information being exposed."
"The solution’s pricing is moderate."
"Its technical support team is helpful."
"Overall, I have had a positive experience with Protegrity’s Data Protection Platform, as it provides strong data protection capabilities, supports compliance requirements, and helps organizations securely use sensitive data across business and analytics workloads."
"The product is stable."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."
"It meets our operational and analytical data integration needs by providing us with a high performing set of tools to access, transform and integrate data in real time."
"Flexibility is a key feature I appreciate about Talend Data Integration, especially the integration of Java within it and the ease of integrating with multiple source repositories such as GitHub and Bitbucket."
"You move data from one source to another without problem and apply some business rules in data."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"Coming into the department with no knowledge of Talend, the interface has been user-friendly enough to allow me to come up to speed in four to five months on almost all its functions and use it like a pro."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
 

Cons

"Protegrity is using a different OS which has some bugs. Sometimes it's causing an initialization error."
"Protegrity’s Data Protection Platform could be improved by simplifying deployment and integrations, as well as providing more advanced reporting and dashboard capabilities."
"Protegrity Data Security could improve by having more integration."
"The solution's UI could be better."
"I can see that the price of Protegrity's Data Protection Platform is a bit high, but the setup is flexible, and the licensing terms are easy to manage, usually complying with our enterprise policies."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"I think the subscription-based model is concerning because as I mentioned, some of our other projects are migrating to different tools."
"What's missing in the Talend MDM Platform is that it's not maintaining technology references. For example, my company needs a reference case if the platform has been implemented for a configuration that's similar to the client's required configuration. Currently, the client is still reluctant to roll out the Talend MDM Platform at a wider level because there's still no reference received from the Talend team."
"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."
"The usage of memory. This tool uses a huge amount of memory."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We pay for a few additional services apart from its licenses."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The tool is cheap."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
