Eugene Paden - PeerSpot reviewer
Integration solution proves maturity and drives productivity
There are many features we're using. We're starting to do AI now regarding integration with other platforms, focusing on creating integrations. A significant area for improvement is version control. Currently, you develop and cannot properly roll back to a previous version unless you create different versions. With proper version control, you could know which version to revert to and test other versions.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. 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. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"Boomi AtomSphere Integration is stable."
"It's very user-friendly and designed to be easy to use for the end user."
"Low-code development is the most valuable feature."
"We work on the flow between systems and the most valuable features for that purpose are the mapping of data, interface mapping, and data integration."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its monitoring part to debug certain issues and find problems."
"The iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"A very user friendly solution."
"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 standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
 

Cons

"The deployment was simple, but the implementation is missing a lot of capabilities."
"There are stability issues."
"The API can use some work to come up to speed with the competition but Dell has plans and is working on resolving that."
"The product's UI could be more convenient."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We would like to see more involvement between Dell Boomi and the end-users to help improve the customer experience."
"There are more mature (dedicated) API management and master data management (MDM) solutions available in the market."
"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."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"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."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The product could be more intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"This solution is very economical (based on the connections)."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"The Platinum package is good for licensing, but I’m not sure about the cost and improvements."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"Approximately 20k annually."
"When it comes to pricing, it's not so much about being less expensive as it is about how they don't tie to the hardware on the underlined VMware that you run on, as other vendors do"
"It is an expensive platform."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"It is an open-source product."
