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

"Connectivity to various data sources: The ability to extract data from different data sources gives greater flexibility."
"No dependence on native language and ease of use.​​"
"Key features include wealth of pre-defined components; all components are customizable; descriptive logging, especially for error messages."
"Server features for scheduler: It is very easy to schedule jobs and monitor them. The interface is easy to use."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"This product is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Needs: easier automated failure recovery; more, and more intuitive auto-generated/filled-in code for components; easier/more automated sync between CloverETL Designer and CloverETL Server."
"​Resource management: We typically run out of heap space, and even the allocation of high heap space does not seem to be enough.​"
"Its documentation could be improved.​"
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"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 not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"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."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
