Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"Jitterbit provides the ability to quickly map data between files and databases."
"Integrity, ease of use, user-friendly user interface, and errorless logs are the most valuable features."
"The fluid user interface (probably the most user friendly interface, when compared to its competitors)."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"We only use small parts of the solution, however, the parts that we use are quite adequate."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"Stability feels fine."
"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."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"Talend is significantly easier to use."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
 

Cons

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"Looping through complex data structures can be difficult."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"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."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"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."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"The security features could be improved."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do believe Jitterbit has one of the better pricing and licensing options out there compared to its competitors."
"Jitterbit was extremely cost effective for us compared to other options."
"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."
"Each business needs to determine if it is a mission critical aspect."
"The solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"It is an open-source product."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"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."
"The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine."
"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."
