Helps with real-time data processing and improves decision-making overall

It improves decision-making overall for the company. Informatica is usually the tool for setting up the data, streaming the data into your data warehouse from your source, transforming the data, and preparing and modeling it into some desired format. It improves the performance. You need to know how to use it and how to implement it, but it improves performance.

Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support

The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Cons

"Skill requirement is required. There is a learning curve."

"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."

"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."

"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."

"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."

"Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration."

"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."

"They lack in memory capacity."

"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
