Executive at Mindlance
Automated cloud governance has reduced audit effort and now improves cost and security visibility
The best features that CloudQuery offers and helped me significantly include SQL-based querying because it uses standard SQL instead of requiring the learning of proprietary query languages. It helps me integrate with existing reporting and analytics tools and build custom dashboards easily. Another key feature is security and compliance monitoring, which continually detects misconfigurations, creates custom compliance checks, and monitors security baselines. Additionally, FinOps and cost optimization is another key feature as it correlates resource configuration with cost data, identifies unused resources, and improves tagging and cost allocation. Furthermore, it includes a history change tracking feature that allows me to track infrastructure changes over time, identify configuration drift, and simplify root cause analysis. CloudQuery has an additional feature that is Policy-as-Code, which defines governance policy using SQL, automates compliance checks, and enforces organizational standards. Another feature is multi-cloud asset inventory, which provides a unified view across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes. It also allows visibility into resources across multiple accounts and regions and has centralized infrastructure inventory. Regarding CloudQuery's AI capabilities, I think its governance and security are very strong and secure.

Has automated recurring data flows and improved accuracy in reporting
The best features of Talend Data Integration are its rich set of components that let you connect to almost any data design intuitive and its strong automation and scheduling capabilities. The TMap component is especially valuable because it allows flexible transformation, joins, and filtering in a single place. I also rely a lot on context variables to manage different environments like Dev, Test, and production, without changing the code. The error handling and logging tools are very helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting, which makes the workflow more reliable. Talend Data Integration has helped our company by automating and standardizing data processes. Before, many of these tasks were done manually, which took more time and often led to errors. With Talend Data Integration, we built automated pipelines that extract, clean, and load data consistently. This not only saves hours of manual effort, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of data. As a result, business teams had faster access to trustworthy information for reporting and decision making, which directly improved efficiency and productivity. Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization. By automating daily data loading processes, we reduced manual effort by around three or four hours per day, which saved roughly 60 to 80 hours per month. We also improved data accuracy. Error rates dropped by more than 70% because validation rules were built into the jobs. In addition, reporting teams now receive fresh data at least 50% faster, which means they can make decisions earlier and with more confidence. Overall, Talend Data Integration has increased both efficiency and reliability in our data workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The AI-generated SQL works well for my team as it gets things right most of the time."
"CloudQuery has positively impacted my organization by saving costs as well as time."
"The best feature of Talend Data Integration is its multiple data DB components; we have almost all the components and also cloud versions, with TMC allowing us to perform data preparation and data stewardship."
"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"Some of the algorithms that are inbuilt in Talend Data Quality, such as Levenshtein, are the most valuable functions for us."
"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
 

Cons

"CloudQuery really acts as an asset inventory tool, which is great, but I find that somewhat limiting."
"However, for some areas, we still need manual checking, particularly for real-time event monitoring capabilities since it does not have this feature."
"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"As it is a open source tool, some minor bugs are there."
"If I am designing something in Talend Data Integration, I cannot backtrack in the flow. For example, if I read data from a source and transform it before applying complex aggregation in the third step, I cannot join this data with the second step."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"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."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"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."
