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.

Effective data transformation and integration in complex environments with high functionality
Something that could be improved in WSO2 Enterprise Integrator is that the problem is not a lack of capability or functionalities. The problem is that it is a very complex environment. To put your hand on this environment is a very demanding task. This is the real problem. The problem is not about the product, but about the complexity to manage, to configure, to decide what to do. I have some experience using SAP R/3. It seems to me something similar. When you have to configure a situation with a client, especially for a client not in an industrial sector, but in a service sector, it is quite usual that you are in trouble for some reason. This is always the story that I found in the implementations I have done. Maybe there are only three or four big problems, in some other cases there are more than that, but this is the situation usually. For WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, not the same, but I must say it is quite often there is a need to put together some pieces and make it work in a coordinated way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Talend Open Studio acts as an ETL tool; the ETL feature gives us the flexibility to build data pipelines the way we want, and it also comes with a console which helps us to monitor the jobs we have built in, making that monitoring part easy."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"It provides the power of an ETL tool but packaged as a Java app without needing any custom product setup."
"Faster and reliable integration jobs."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"While I am still exploring the solution, I've so far been pretty satisfied with it."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The built-in connectors help with quick connectivity to the platforms, and we are using this for both our banking and insurance clients."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the integration between core banking and other systems."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
 

Cons

"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"Talend's technical support isn't very good and not worth the money we spend on it."
"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."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"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."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"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."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"Most of the issues we run into with the WSO2 Enterprise Integrator deal with customizations."
"The configuration of the product is not an easy task for everyone."
"The scalability is not strong. If you want to scale it you have to install multiple servers."
"For simpler tasks or simpler use cases, we avoid using WSO2 Enterprise Integrator because it is quite complex."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
