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.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
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. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The stability is excellent."
"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."
"The installation process is easy."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
 

Cons

"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"There is a need for mastery in some areas."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"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."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"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."
"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

"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"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 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."
