Accurate data and reliable
CData Connect is used to extract data from our own Facebook ads campaigns The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data. The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved. I have been using CData Connect for approximately three months.…

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

"The most valuable feature of CData Connect is the accuracy of the data."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"Stability feels fine."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
 

Cons

"The amount of data that can be extracted at one point in time should be improved."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"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."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The security features could be improved."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
