Featured Reviews

Vijayraj Amin - PeerSpot reviewer
User-friendly and accessible for anyone with computer knowledge and logical thinking
There is room for improvement in the solution's visualization tool. Currently, it provides basic reports and the ability to create graphs and dashboards, but I'm looking forward to more robust analytics. The plan is to enhance this feature in 2024, around Q2 or Q3, which would save us from relying on external tools like Power BI for insights.
Sushrit Moundekar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"It is among the best, even if not widely known."
"It is a reliable solution."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
 

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."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"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."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is an expensive solution."
"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."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"I am using the open-source version and it is free."
"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."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
