Data professional at a financial services firm with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simple, stable, and allows us to handle data from various sources, but needs enterprise features for logging, recoverability, and monitoring
If I could give any advice to the guys who are developing it, I would suggest them to really look at the enterprise features, such as being able to log what's going on, being able to capture the current state of processing, and being able to recover from error situations. So, there should be a focus on logging, recoverability, and monitoring. We should be able to monitor what's going on, and in case of any issues, we should be able to recover and restart processing and other things. For scalability and performance, I would probably suggest the Pushdown feature so that you can do the transformation directly on the data source. You do not need to do that calculation within the ETL server. For this, you should be aware of the type of data because each database or kind of storage, such as Hadoop, has its own ANSI standard or language, such as SQL. Microsoft, Oracle, and IBM have their own language. Based on the feedback that I have got, its initial setup takes some time. It could perhaps be simpler.

Has supported building flexible data pipelines and streamlined ETL orchestration
There should be a dedicated support team for Talend Open Studio. We do have a support team, but at times it is critical for us to fix certain things within one or two hours. Usually, the support team takes some 12 hours, which is the standard edition of support. If we could have round-the-clock support, we would be able to resolve many issues which we encounter during the development part. The initial setup for Talend Open Studio is a little complex. We need to have a dedicated person who has an understanding of Talend Open Studio as a tool. It takes some level of expertise, so it is not an easy process, but once we have a dedicated associate who is knowledgeable in that particular field, it becomes comparatively easier.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Its simplicity and the way it handles graphs are the most valuable features."
"Its simplicity and the way it handles graphs are the most valuable features."
"I'm very happy that the solution is user friendly."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that I recommend it and they should try using it."
"The initial setup was pretty straightforward; I didn't have many problems installing it and it seemed very straightforward to me."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"It's a good tool; it has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need, and it's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"The solution, in general, offers us a lot of great advantages."
"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."
 

Cons

"If I could give any advice to the guys who are developing it, I would suggest them to really look at the enterprise features, such as being able to log what's going on, being able to capture the current state of processing, and being able to recover from error situations."

"Talend's technical support isn't very good and not worth the money we spend on it."
"Open Studio doesn't have features that some of its competitors do like administrative tools."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"The Enterprise Version needs to be more similar to the Talend Open Studio."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data."
"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."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price and value for money would be okay for our purpose if there were some additional features."
"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."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"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."
"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."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
