We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Talend Open Studio 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 Mapping Designer allows for declarative ETL development (visual scripting) that leverages a wide array of different transformations."
"The Mapping Configuration and PowerCenter wizards are valuable. We use them to run our business logic."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"Data integration is the most valuable feature. The ability to connect to any of the sources and enterprise applications makes our lives easier."
"I like the fact that you can find almost any product connection that you need and the list is always expanding."
"The program is stable and scalable."
"It has become an easy way to exchange information through any cloud application."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"The price modeling could be more flexible."
"Informatica Cloud Data Integration can improve by being more user-friendly. When you're working with the solution a lot of technical knowledge is required. It's not a solution that anyone can use properly, you need knowledge of what's happening at the back end, such as SQL. When you get stuck, you need to look into your logic. For other tools, such as Dell Boomi, anyone can use them."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"It would be helpful if there was a GenAI feature integrated into the system, especially regarding the data quality."
"The cloud version could be better in terms of pricing."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
