BCC Data Quality vs Talend Data Quality comparison

"Postal sorting to the best and lowest postal rates."

"It fulfills the USPS requirements for mailings​."

"The file fetch process is impeccable."

"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."

"​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.​"

"We have used value frequency and patterns. We have been it impressed with these functions as they have helped us in making decisions in transformation work."

"The Studio is easy to understand."

"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."

"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"

"​I use another program for deduping files. I am not comfortable with the way BCC deduping runs when deduping by full name and address.​"

"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."

"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."

"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."

"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."

"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."

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

"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."

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

"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."

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

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

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