We have not purchased any licensed products, and our use of Elastic Search is purely open-source, contributing positively to our ROI.
It is stable, and we do not encounter critical issues like server downtime, which could result in data loss.
The main benefits observed from using Elastic Search include improvements in operational efficiency, along with cost, time, and resource savings.
It has helped us save a lot of time by automating repetitive data processes and reducing manual interventions.
They didn't want to use separate ETL tools for MDM or for TMC and data preparation, which is all included in one package.

Sentiment score
6.9
Talend Data Integration is scalable, effectively managing large data volumes with job parallelization and modular design, rated eight out of ten.
I would rate its scalability a ten.
Since we're on the cloud, whenever we need to upgrade or add resources, they handle everything.
I can actually add more storage and memory because I host it in the cloud.
By using features like job parallelization and modular design, we can expand our data flows without having to rebuild everything.
The scalability of Talend Data Integration is good; if it weren't scalable, it wouldn't be reliable.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.7
Elastic Search is highly regarded for stability, despite occasional memory challenges, with users rating it between seven and ten.
Sentiment score
7.2
Talend Data Integration is reliable, stable, and dependable for large data volumes with well-designed deployments and adequate infrastructure.
The data transfer sometimes exceeded the bandwidth limits without proper notification, which caused issues.
The stability of Elasticsearch was very high.
Elastic Search is quite stable.
Once the jobs are properly designed and deployed, they run reliably without major issues.
 

Room For Improvement

Elasticsearch needs improvements in security, scalability, tool integration, user experience, support, and cost clarity to enhance usability.
Talend Data Integration requires better debugging tools, technical support, interface user-friendliness, and enhanced cloud connectivity and processing capabilities.
This can create problems for new developers because they have to quickly switch to another version.
It is primarily based on Unix or Linux-based operating systems and cannot be easily configured in Windows systems.
The consistency and stability of Elasticsearch are commendable, and they should keep up the good work.
It would be great to have more ready-to-use connectors for modern cloud and SaaS platforms.
Talend Data Integration can be improved by reducing the license cost, as it is a bit high compared to other tools, which can be a burden for small-scale companies wanting to buy a license.
Regarding ETL, Talend Data Integration is great, but concerning real-time data processing, people are not really sure about Talend Data Integration or might not know how it provides such types of flexibilities.
 

Setup Cost

Elastic Search is open-source, but enterprise features and managed services can significantly increase costs and create pricing complexity.
<p>Talend Data Integration offers scalable annual pricing, praised for cost-effectiveness but advanced features may increase costs, with strong support.</p>
We used the open-source version of Elasticsearch, which was free.
Elastic pushes clients to buy the Enterprise edition instead of the Premium edition, and we don't see the value in that other than to spend more money more quickly.
My experience with Talend Data Integration's pricing, setup cost, and licensing is that it is a bit higher compared to other tools, making it not very affordable.
 

Valuable Features

Elastic Search offers fast, scalable log monitoring, data indexing, visualization, robust queries, and machine learning, enhancing usability and stability.
Talend Data Integration offers extensive connectivity, Java integration, automation, and centralized management, enhancing efficiency and stability in data processes.
Elastic Search makes handling large data volumes efficient and supports complex search operations.
The most valuable feature of Elasticsearch was the quick search capability, allowing us to search by any criteria needed.
The speed with which Elastic Search is able to search through all of the documents we place into it is quite remarkable, as we search through 65 billion documents in less than a second in most cases, on a constant consistent basis.
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.
Flexibility is a key feature I appreciate about Talend Data Integration, especially the integration of Java within it and the ease of integrating with multiple source repositories such as GitHub and Bitbucket.
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.

Searches through billions of documents have become impressively fast and consistent
The seamless scalability is something I see as among the best features Elastic Search offers. The speed with which Elastic Search is able to search through all of the documents we place into it is quite remarkable, as we search through 65 billion documents in less than a second in most cases, on a constant consistent basis. I find configuring relevant searches within Elastic Search platform very straightforward. Elastic Search is easily scalable. The customer support for Elastic Search is quite good. I advise others looking into using Elastic Search to think about the future of your platform and where you intend it to be in five years, and based on that, which version of Elastic Search best suits the needs of your platform. Additionally, jump into the AI products first as you're in the planning phase so that as you're filling out your data, the AI products and machine learning products can enrich the data real-time early on in the process, which will save you a lot of time later. The overall performance of the platform, scalability of the platform and other additional features, especially when it comes to AI, really earn the nine.

Offers flexibility and ease of integration while needing improvements in data flow management
I haven't worked with Talend Data Integration on real-time data processing; I have only seen the streaming component, and I think it can accommodate limited streaming, not at the level of larger big data platforms. Regarding ETL, Talend Data Integration is great, but concerning real-time data processing, people are not really sure about Talend Data Integration or might not know how it provides such types of flexibilities. I haven't worked on this aspect in Talend Data Integration, so this is definitely an area where it lacks. To elaborate on one drawback, 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. If I need to go back, I will have to use a memory component, or if I need to avoid memory consumption, I will have to read the data from step one again to join it with the third step.
