Quick development enables seamless data processing despite occasional support issues

There were times when the product would fail during development without an apparent reason. The support structure changed; initially, we received great support, however, it later became less reliable due to licensing issues and a tiered support system. Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage. For instance, our licenses were temporarily lost during negotiations when an agreement couldn't be reached.

Have consistently ensured data accuracy and validation with built-in algorithms

I don't use the automated rule management feature in Talend Data Quality that much, so I cannot provide much feedback. I may not know what Talend Data Quality can improve for data quality. I'm not well-versed with the latest technology, so I cannot suggest additional functions that could make the product better or simplify my work with it. Generally, whatever jobs we have written in Talend Data Quality are working fine, so I am satisfied with that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The drag and drop and layout is simple to understand, with intuitive names of features."

"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."

"The filtering is fast, and it provides a search tool that is great."

"The drag-and-drop features are useful for data scientists who do not like to code because it is already in the system."

"The product is very stable and super fast, five-star. It's significantly more stable than it's nearest competitor."

"I like the solution's velocity, the speed with which it processes data, and its ease of use."

"Predictive models, which are easy to use, and help a lot with fast design and deployment."

"Alteryx has helped us spend more time identifying results instead of performing analysis manually. It has helped us in our loading process, including scrubbing data and identifying data elements that need to be corrected. It enables us to understand our data sets a lot better."

More Alteryx pros

"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."

"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."

"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."

"This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted."

"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder."

"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."

"Some of the algorithms that are inbuilt in Talend Data Quality, such as Levenshtein, are the most valuable functions for us."

"It’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."

More Talend Data Quality pros

Cons

"It would be great to create the final users' visualization within Alteryx."

"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."

"Licensing negotiations were problematic, affecting our product usage."

"It would be great if Alteryx could take third party tools and incorporate them."

"Lacks an open source edition which would be helpful."

"It seems to me that it is not always user friendly."

"It is a little bit pricey."

"The pricing seems high for my current needs. However, considering the benefits, it is easier to justify to management for broader company usage."

More Alteryx cons

"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."

"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."

"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."

"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."

"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."

"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."

"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Alteryx is an expensive solution."

"The seat is too expensive."

"The price for Alteryx Designer is reasonable but the price for Alteryx Server for universal collaborations is too expensive."

"Alteryx isn't extortionately expensive, but it's not cheap either."

"We use the free version of the solution. There are enterprise licenses available. It cost approximately $5,000 annually. It is an expensive solution and there are additional features that cost more money."

"I don't know much about the licensing, but there are some additional costs for certain features."

"A designer and scheduler for $13K/year in total is pretty much earning you the money back in time and in other resources."

"It's probably on the pricey side, but they provide some really useful ways to grow and test."

More Alteryx pricing and cost advice

"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
