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.
Costin Marzea - PeerSpot reviewer
Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a low-code and high-configuration platform, which is very valuable. Develop once and run anywhere is another useful feature. It also has connectors for more than 200 applications. It provides value for money. Our customers who have implemented this solution have a very high ROI."
"Boomi iPaaS has substantially reduced operational costs by providing out-of-the-box connectors that expedite the integration process with enterprise systems."
"AtomSphere Integration will suit those looking for small automation and simple integrations."
"I like the tool's optimization 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 iPaaS functionality is very mature. The browser based IDE is also very mature and stable."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Extremely flexible for any kind of integration between systems."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
 

Cons

"They need to introduce more configurable functions to remove scripting or coding. Scripting should be minimized. It should have exhaustive functions. Currently, it lacks in this aspect."
"The product could be a little bit more user-friendly."
"In day-to-day operations, tracking transactions is a major challenge. It takes hours to track a single transaction. It is not a straightforward process."
"There are stability issues."
"We encountered stability issues occasionally, one to two times a year."
"There should be more scripting possibilities."
"They are lacking in some streaming features, and messaging features from a listener's point of view."
"It is a costly platform. Its pricing could be better."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"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."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"AtomSphere Integration's pricing is competitive, and I would rate it seven out of ten."
"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"
"The cost of the solution is in the neighborhood of $20,000 annually. There are no costs above the standard licensing fee."
"The pricing is not reasonable at all. It's very high."
"They do not charge by the number of people using the software (client-server model), but rather they charge based on the number of connections used. This makes it very cost effective."
"The pricing is a bit complex. While the entry fee may be lower than other solutions, it could be expensive depending on your usage."
"The licensing model of Dell Boomi is based on a ‘pay-per-use’ model."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"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."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
