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 main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program.

The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway.

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.

I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good.
