"It's a robust solution."
"The most valuable feature is the data integration for data warehousing."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"Once you have Infosphere up and running properly, it is stable."
"Offers great flexibility."
"It is quite useful and powerful."
"As a data integration platform, it is easy to use. It is quite robust and useful for volumetric analysis when you have huge volumes of data. We have tested it for up to ten million rows, and it is robust enough to process ten million rows internally with its parallel processing. Its error logging mechanism is far simpler and easier to understand than other data integration tools. The newer version of InfoSphere has the data catalog and IDC lineage. They are helpful in the easy traceability of columns and tables."
"We are mostly using transmission rules. It has a lot of functions and logic related to transmission. It is a user-friendly tool with in-built functions."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"The initial setup could be more straightforward."
"The pricing should be lower."
"Currently lacking virtualization ability."
"It doesn't have any big data connections. It would be good to have them because most of the systems are moving towards big data. There should also be a user-friendly way to interact with the cloud. Its loading process is very slow. It takes a lot of time for around 5 or 6 million records, and we are not able to provide real-time data to the vendors due to this delay. Its performance needs to be improved. It is also like a legacy system. It is not updated much. In higher versions, they only do small changes. We would like to have new features and new technologies."
"The setup is extremely difficult."
"The interface needs improvement."
"It would be useful to provide support for Python, AR, and Java."
"The response time from support is slow and needs to be improved."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"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."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
