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.

Good data fabric and a straightforward setup with the ability to extend
I really like the data fabric. In my data fabric, we have a component related to cloud computing that is quite useful. The data fabric has improved over the previous version. The user interface is fine. There are good integrations possible with the product. The initial setup is very straightforward. It is a scalable product.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"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."
"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's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"Some of the algorithms that are inbuilt in Talend Data Quality, such as Levenshtein, are the most valuable functions for us."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community, and if we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
"I really like the data fabric."
 

Cons

"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."
"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"There are no natural connections for some of the applications that I use more regularly."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"From the UI side, it'll trouble a lot."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"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 licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The licensing fees vary depending on the products that you purchase."
"It has one single license, and everything is included in it."
