Has automated recurring data flows and improved accuracy in reporting
The best features of Talend Data Integration are its rich set of components that let you connect to almost any data design intuitive and its strong automation and scheduling capabilities. The TMap component is especially valuable because it allows flexible transformation, joins, and filtering in a single place. I also rely a lot on context variables to manage different environments like Dev, Test, and production, without changing the code. The error handling and logging tools are very helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting, which makes the workflow more reliable. Talend Data Integration has helped our company by automating and standardizing data processes. Before, many of these tasks were done manually, which took more time and often led to errors. With Talend Data Integration, we built automated pipelines that extract, clean, and load data consistently. This not only saves hours of manual effort, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of data. As a result, business teams had faster access to trustworthy information for reporting and decision making, which directly improved efficiency and productivity. Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization. By automating daily data loading processes, we reduced manual effort by around three or four hours per day, which saved roughly 60 to 80 hours per month. We also improved data accuracy. Error rates dropped by more than 70% because validation rules were built into the jobs. In addition, reporting teams now receive fresh data at least 50% faster, which means they can make decisions earlier and with more confidence. Overall, Talend Data Integration has increased both efficiency and reliability in our data workflows.

Modular design, product-based MDM and easy to setup
Stibo is a great product if you want to utilize it in product-based MDM. Customer-base, they are still growing, but product-base is fine because every single time you have to create hierarchies in the product and not care about all the other stuff. But the major thing is the hierarchy, at which particular type that product is and what that product does, how it looks, what is the catalog, what are the relationships with other stuff. So, from that note, Stibo is great. Around 20 to 25 people were there when I was on a particular project. I knew around 20 to 25 people who knew Stibo MDM and were part of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The Talend software is very simple to install."
"Talend has allowed us to systematically organise/structure and deploy our staged ETL transformation processes from Development into production, we have tracked our data quality efforts during our runs and supplied comprehensive feedback during our development."
"Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization by automating daily data loading processes, reducing manual effort by around three or four hours per day, improving data accuracy with error rates dropping by more than 70%, and enabling reporting teams to receive fresh data at least 50% faster for earlier and more confident decision-making."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The file fetch process is impeccable."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The primary use case is for data ingestion."
"It's powerful and it's stable."
"The match engine and the BPM solution are very good and are satisfying us right now."
"Data profiling allows us to recognize values from our upstream applications. It helps us place limits on the creation of new data domains to organize the ecosystem. The golden record, crucial for downstream applications, ensures data integrity and consistency."
"It's very user friendly, and we can do everything in one place."
"The solution is very feature-rich out of the box, it's highly customizable and configurable, and the way you can build workflows and business rules is very powerful."
"The second feature I love is its modular design, where you can create a certain number of entities and create hierarchical entities."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"I encountered scalability issues."
"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."
"The analytics module can be improved. It is a self-service solution for creating new reports and submitting visions to bring more data to the CEO table."
"The initial setup is complex."
"The customer service and support were a little adamant about giving workarounds rather than accepting that something was not working correctly."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI."
"The search feature for searching internal records could be improved."
"In terms of stability, integration using APIs is not that stable. We are having some problems with its ability to integrate with the platform through APIs."
"It took three or four times the amount of time we expected it to."
"There is scope for improvement with regard to the UI. Also, some options that are used regularly should be on the front page so that the user does not have to dig deep to find them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"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."
"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 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."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"The tool is cheap."
