Program Manager at InfoCepts
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

"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"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 most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The stability is excellent."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
 

Cons

"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"They should introduce better pricing for small companies."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems."
"One of the reasons that we are looking for a replacement is their way of defining integration. The language of the XML structures that I use to describe the integrations are not that standard, and it's not easy to find people who are familiar with this approach."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"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."
