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

"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"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 solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"The installation process is easy."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
"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."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"The solution's customer service is good."
 

Cons

"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"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."
"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."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"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."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"In my opinion, the administration model and interface, of Carbon, are lacking in terms of its features and user experience."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"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."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"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."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"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 cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
