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

"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"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."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
 

Cons

"I know with Salesforce updating the UI like they did, it slowed it down a lot."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"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."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"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."
"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."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"The added bonus is that Jitterbit doesn't charge for any data volume/traffic."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"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."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
