It lets us create models so we can generate real-time predictions and insights for a our clients
Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing. I would like it if we could set the solution up to process and respond to real-time events. For example, say I want to configure an app to run based on the mileage a car has driven, and I configure the metering system, so the event occurs every 15 days. Let's say we want to automatically send an alert to EMS, police, etc. if a car gets into an accident. Transformation Manager is more of a conventional tool for reporting, extracting volume, bulk loading, etc. but there should be more provisions for dealing with real-time events, creating some insights, and dealing with perishable data. Ten minutes after the accident, the data doesn't have value. It has value before you saved the person.

Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a reliable solution."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"Back in the day, we could only get reports and analyze what happened after the fact, but today now we can generate real-time insights. Transformation Manager feeds your data science projects. We generate models and then give them to the clients, so they can come up with real-time predictions and recommendations in addition to reporting."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The tool was mainly used for ETL processes to apply governance rules on data."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
 

Cons

"They should build a functional architecture based on queuing."
"Transformation Manager reporting could be better. There are better options for reporting tools these days. We use Microsoft BI sometimes, but Tableau is becoming too expensive. Microsoft BI's visualization features are maturing."
"There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The tool is cheap."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
