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

"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"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."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"This product is very easy to use."
"Currently, I find the configuration part quite valuable, where you can easily configure things."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"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."
"The productivity is the most valuable feature. It is very easy to write remediations."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
 

Cons

"The solution needs more integrations."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"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."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"It is an open-source product."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"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 solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"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 open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"It is a low-cost solution."
