Captures data from all other sources and becomes a MOM aka monitoring of monitors
Scalability and ROI are the areas they have to improve. Their license terms are based on the number of cores. If you increase the number of cores, it becomes very difficult to manage at a large scale. For example, if I have a $3 million project, I won't sell it because if we're dealing with a 10 TB or 50 TB system, there are a lot of systems and applications to monitor, and I have to make an MOM (Mean of Max) for everything. This is because of the cost impact. Also, when you have horizontal scaling, it's like a multi-story building with only one elevator. You have to run around, and it's not efficient. Even the smallest task becomes difficult. That's the problem with horizontal scaling. They need to improve this because if they increase the cores and adjust the licensing accordingly, it would make more sense.

Easy-to-use product with the ability to generate code efficiently
Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently. This feature streamlines the integration process, saving developers time and effort. Additionally, the stability of the generated code is noteworthy, as it ensures reliability over time. Despite not always producing the most aesthetically pleasing code, it eliminates critical errors, reducing the burden on developers. This stability is particularly crucial in complex integration scenarios, where errors can have significant consequences.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features are the detection and correlation features."
"I appreciate the indexing capabilities and the speed of indexing in their product, which demonstrates how quickly logs are collected and stored."
"The forced merge and forced resonate features reduce the data size increasing reliability."
"The most valuable feature of Elasticsearch is its convenience in handling unstructured data."
"The UI is very nice, and performance wise it's quite good too."
"I have found the sort capability of Elastic very useful for allowing us to find the information we need very quickly."
"Elastic Search is very quick when handling a large volume of data."
"Using real-time search functionality to support operational decisions has been helpful."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"I'm very passionate about this solution because if you look at any other tool that costs around $200 - $300,000, like Delphix which costs you a million dollars, Talend is very cheap and is almost is at par with what others can do. There is one thing which Delphix does which Talend cannot do, but overall, I would say apart from that, if you're looking for a solution, you should give it a try."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
 

Cons

"We'd like to see more integration in the future, especially around service desks or other ITSM tools."
"Machine learning on search needs improvement."
"Kibana should be more friendly, especially when building dashboards."
"While integrating with tools like agents for ingesting data from sources like firewalls is valuable, I believe prioritizing improvements to the core product would be more beneficial."
"The price could be better. Kibana has some limitations in terms of the tablet to view event logs. I also have a high volume of data. On the initialization part, if you chose Kibana, you'll have some limitations. Kibana was primarily proposed as a log data reviewer to build applications to the viewer log data using Kibana. Then it became a virtualization tool, but it still has limitations from a developer's point of view."
"Ratio aggregation is not supported in this solution."
"The reports could improve."
"The UI point of view is not very powerful because it is dependent on Kibana."
"Sometimes there are bugs which are unidentified and we have to follow-up with the Talend team to resolve them. In a critical situation, it takes time for them to update patches."
"Due to using the open-source version of Talend Data Integration, which lacks a scheduler, our current approach involves developing jobs in Talend, exporting them as Java packages, and utilizing an external scheduler, such as Windows Scheduler, to manage the scheduling process."
"The product's setup process could be simpler."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"The tool's technical support needs to be better. It doesn't have a local data center but pushes everything to the cloud. They need to check in with customers to see if they're happy and how well the solutions work. They need to assign a customer success manager for the accounts they sell."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"ELK has been considered as an alternative to Splunk to reduce licensing costs."
"The solution is affordable."
"We are using the open-sourced version."
"It can be expensive."
"The cost varies based on factors like usage volume, network load, data storage size, and service utilization. If your usage isn't too extensive, the cost will be lower."
"We are using the free open-sourced version of this solution."
"I rate Elastic Search's pricing an eight out of ten."
"The solution is less expensive than Stackdriver and Grafana."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"I have been using the open-source version."
