We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage and Talend Data integration based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The solution has improved the time it takes to perform tasks related to batch applications."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"Highly customizable: Allowing you to handle multiple data latencies (scheduled batch, on-demand, and real-time) in the same job."
"The performance optimization is quite good in DataStage. It provides parallelism and pipelining mechanisms"
"When we have needed help from the IBM team, they were helpful. Our company is a premium partner so we get fast responses."
"The solution is very easy to use."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is the ability to incorporate very complex business rules in Data Stage."
"We have multiple use cases for this solution. We integrate with Salesforce, SAP and Oracle databases to build business logic and provide reporting."
"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."
"Talend Data integration has a wide library of connectors."
"In terms of intermediate storage, we have some challenges, especially with customers who store data in intermediate locations."
"Reduced cost would allow more customers to choose the product. It's quite expensive in relation to the cost of other similar solutions."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
"I'd like to be able to do more with the data and metadata, including copy and pasting, et cetera."
"Improvements for DataStage could include better integration with modern data sources like cloud solutions and documents, along with enhancing its capability to handle non-structured data."
"Their web interface is good but the on-prem sites are outdated. The solution could also be improved if they could integrate the data pipeline scheduling part of their interface."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
