Lead Database Administrator at a insurance company with 201-500 employees
Integrating external keys seamlessly while has transaction constraints
I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM. It provides automation for scheduling data loads, and we use the server's functionality for this. Additionally, DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free. As long as I have stable network access, uploading and downloading data is straightforward.

Program Manager at InfoCepts
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

"DataLoader is cost-effective since it is free."
"he product’s most valuable feature is ease of access."
"I find DataLoader's ability to easily integrate with external keys valuable, which is a bit more challenging with DBM."
"This solution has better multiple pre-built connectors than competitors, which is good for any client or any business, because today, in most of the cases, they are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"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."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"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 pricing is reasonable; they make it very affordable."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
 

Cons

"Dataloader has limitations, including constraints with file sizes and transactions. Additionally, at times it can be slow, and when integrating DBM, we find it more complex than Dataloader."
"We need help with large data migrations. It only works well for a few thousand records or less than a million records."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"Talend's technical support isn't very good and not worth the money we spend on it."
"The open-source version does not include the parallel execution; neither the source code versioning or the project collaboration features."
"Version 5.6 works best with Java 7 and is quite unstable with 8. I encountered a few issues with the multi-threading function leading to DB connection issues."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"We have never received responses to our queries from the company, so we are totally unsatisfied with the support."
"The solution's data management platform needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is inexpensive and economical."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"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."
"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."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"It is an open-source product."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
