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

"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"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 most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"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."
"A very user friendly solution."
"From the capabilities and functional possibility and anything else technical, it is a very well-done product, I have to say."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
 

Cons

"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"The security features could be improved."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"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."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this 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."
"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
