Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Jitterbit handles the most lines of data in a .csv and loads the quickest of any data loader I have tried."
"It is a scalable solution."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"This product is very easy to use."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"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."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"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."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
 

Cons

"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"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."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."

"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
"It is an open-source product."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
