BI Developer at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Fast in taking unstructured data, processing it and spitting out all the different data types. The team moved to SSIS/SSRS, I suspect it didn’t fit in with the goal of creating a data warehouse.
The manual calculations and formulae. They were a bit complex. The formulae were a bit abstract. Not easy to understand. Not intuitive. I sat beside an SSIS guru and he took one look at them and said “Good luck Geoff”. I coded them all and after I left, I got a call from a techy there asking me what they were all about! He hadn’t a clue how to unravel them, even with documentation. Also, they managed to accidentally delete them all. No idea how they did that. After a few panic-filled phone calls, they dropped the whole thing. It was a mess there. Glad I left.

Has automated recurring data flows and improved accuracy in reporting
The best features of Talend Data Integration are its rich set of components that let you connect to almost any data design intuitive and its strong automation and scheduling capabilities. The TMap component is especially valuable because it allows flexible transformation, joins, and filtering in a single place. I also rely a lot on context variables to manage different environments like Dev, Test, and production, without changing the code. The error handling and logging tools are very helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting, which makes the workflow more reliable. Talend Data Integration has helped our company by automating and standardizing data processes. Before, many of these tasks were done manually, which took more time and often led to errors. With Talend Data Integration, we built automated pipelines that extract, clean, and load data consistently. This not only saves hours of manual effort, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of data. As a result, business teams had faster access to trustworthy information for reporting and decision making, which directly improved efficiency and productivity. Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization. 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. We also improved data accuracy. Error rates dropped by more than 70% because validation rules were built into the jobs. In addition, reporting teams now receive fresh data at least 50% faster, which means they can make decisions earlier and with more confidence. Overall, Talend Data Integration has increased both efficiency and reliability in our data workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is excellent for data profiling."
"We were easily able to merge the two sets of data and find the inconsistencies between the two allowing us to complete this part of the project in speedy fashion."
"It has given us the ability to build information that wasn’t otherwise there, to build confidence in our applications, to troubleshoot data effectively and focus our efforts on genuine errors."
"The customer service was very good."
"X88 gave a quick view of the quality of the data and a rapid way to fix issues before exporting for use."
"Pandora provides a quick, efficient way to analyze, control and improve data using integrated technology."
"The product allowed us to complete the project on time and within budget and is continuing to be used on subsequent Data Migration/Integration projects."
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"Before, when we wanted solutions and REST APIs, we handed it over to an external company, so it took time, back and forth and all that, but now, with Qlik Talend Cloud, when we want a service, we create it, and in at most one or two days the service is in production and usable, so we save a lot of time."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
 

Cons

"End to End connectivity could do with some improvement which I believe they are working on at this time."
"It is way, way over-priced in my opinion."
"The free data profiler doesn't contain enough dashboards to give the user a better feel of the program."
"The product appears to be horizontally scalable, but is not something I would use in a large scale automated architecture."
"The tool was very unstable and was constantly hogging the resources, even if was not operating at the moment."
"The online training is very useful but needs expanding and updating – it has loads of potential."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I think the subscription-based model is concerning because as I mentioned, some of our other projects are migrating to different tools."
"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"There are no natural connections for some of the applications that I use more regularly."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"Not enough material is available for beginners."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"The tool is cheap."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
