"Easy to understand, very developer-friendly, and has a big forum community and lots of documentation for support."
"The installation of the client ODI Studio is easy."
"The most valuable features of ODI are the knowledge modules, such as the Loading Knowledge module and the Check Knowledge module, they are helpful. We can check for the constraints in ODI. That helps in figuring out what are the constraints that are the primary keys created in the tables. We can check them with the Check Knowledge module."
"ODI's most valuable features are it utilizes the database engine and is very lightweight."
"One of the standout features of ODI is its ability to prepare everything on a vertical level and create reusable components, which adds to its value."
"The most valuable feature is Data movement."

"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."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Technical support can be improved with respect to delays in ticket response time."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"Integration with the largest number of databases and other systems would be important."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"The stability of the software could be improved. Sometimes, the software just crashes. "
"If you have something like Cisco on top of it, you will have endless problems."
"The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved."
"The solution lacks some functions and features."
"The initial setup is a bit complex compared to other tools."
"I would only point out some minor bugs or glitches in the development interface (ODI studio)."
"ODI could improve by focusing on streamlining its features without unnecessary overhead."
"Stability could be improved because some operators have issues."
"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."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"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."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
