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."
"The most valuable feature is being able to create custom ETL jobs, and we're sold on the customization part of it."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Faster and reliable integration jobs."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"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."
"My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that I recommend it and they should try using it."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."

"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"There is room for improvement in the performance - it gets the job done but it can be a bit slow, but then it is a free product."
"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."
"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."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Its price and value for money would be okay for our purpose if there were some additional features."
"I am using the open-source version of the solution, so there are no extra costs for any feature."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"It is an open-source product."
"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."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
