Supports API integrations and enables users to handle data management

Informatica is a well-established product known for its stability. Hardware and configuration can affect its performance, and it's not a lightweight tool that will fail quickly. When purchasing Informatica, you have options based on your needs. A simple data ingestion or integration license is relatively affordable, but the full Data Fabric suite is expensive. The Data Fabric suite includes integration, data quality, API management, big data processing, and real-time capabilities. For those who don't need the entire suite, purchasing individual components, such as data integration or data quality, it is a more cost-effective option. These individual licenses are generally less expensive than the complete Data Fabric suite, offering a more flexible and budget-friendly choice than Informatica's flagship.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."

"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."

"We've had no issues with the stability so far."

"The initial setup is very easy."

"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."

"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."

"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."

"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."

"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."

"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."

"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."

"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."

"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."

"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."

Cons

"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."

"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."

"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."

"I would like to see better integration with other tools."

"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."

"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."

"Performance and speed could be improved."

"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."

"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."

"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."

"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."

"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."

"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"

"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."

"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a 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."

"The tool is cheap."

"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."

"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."

"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."

"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
