We performed a comparison between Informatica Data Integration Hub and Talend Open Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The technical support services are good."
"Performance and flexibility-wise, they're very user-friendly."
"The MDM solution is capable of integrating multiple systems, so it helped us to solve the purpose of centralizing the depository as well as the standardization of mass data. It takes away all the ambiguity around data integrity issues or all the process challenges which happen when every stage of a process uses a different source as master data."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"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 most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading."
"They could provide more robust performance for data integration processes. It would help in improving the data quality more efficiently."
"When it comes to UI look and feel and user experience, Informatica is not as good as other solutions."
"The initial setup was not very straightforward. Not complex, but not very simple either."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"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."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"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."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"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."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
