Training has boosted custom ETL scripting and now debugging complex incremental loads needs work
The best feature Rivery offers is the ability to build custom or user-defined functions. You can even develop Python scripts to perform transformations on your data frames. This flexibility allows you to implement custom requirements, making Rivery more versatile than relying solely on in-built functions. Regarding features such as the interface, scheduling, or connectors, I found that as of 2022 when I last used it, the monitoring was good, although the debugging process for custom scripts was somewhat challenging. If we encountered issues with custom-built scripts, debugging was difficult since it used to send standard errors rather than specific ones. From what I recall, monitoring worked well, and we could connect to multiple relational and other sources, which was advantageous. A few of my colleagues and I were able to earn certifications on Rivery, which motivated us, even though we could not pursue or implement Rivery project for clients. The learning experience was very valuable as we had around seven or eight resources participating in those trainings, and they were all excited to learn about this new tool for us at the time.

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

"The main benefit Rivery brought to my organization was the time we were able to save on development, and by using all these automation features provided by Rivery together with integration to Snowflake, we were able to solve problems."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by enabling us to create a stable pipeline, and we can expand the variety of the data sources as we go very easily, with no worries, and with a lot of confidence in the fact that it can be done."
"Connects to many APIs in the market and new ones are being added all the time."
"The process of using Rivery has worked very smoothly for me, and I found the tool very easy to use, allowing me to gain a lot of insights."
"The solution's most valuable features are that it is quick to connect and simple to use."
"Anyone looking into using Rivery should know it is a great product."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by reducing the need for a big team of data engineers and speeding up the work when we need to connect to a new data source; this can happen really fast."
"Rivery has positively impacted my organization by helping me streamline my data ingestion and transformation processes, especially in combination with Snowflake."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
 

Cons

"Lineage and an impact analysis or logic dependency are lacking."
"Rivery can be improved by generally investing a bit more depth into the product, mainly in orchestration and specific features comparable to mature products."
"The key challenges I recall were related to the incremental merging logic, which was not functioning properly."
"As an end user of Rivery, I would like to see it be less commercial for users."
"Pricing is a little steep for smaller organizations, I would say. The product's pricing model could be a little bit better."
"I think Rivery could be improved by having more analytical features inside."
"My experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing was unfortunately not so good in my recent data project."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I rate the tool's price as six out of ten if I consider the lowest price to be one and the highest price to be ten."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"It is an open-source product."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
