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."
"Easy integration with Salesforce"
"It is a scalable solution."
"It runs like an appliance and has tremendous throughput."
"The Cloud Console for monitoring and troubleshooting data operations."
"It is very easy to build integrations and processes to pull and push data."
"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."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"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 product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"A very user friendly solution."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"This product is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Sometimes additional connectors are needed."
"Its API management capabilities need improvement."
"The initial setup can be a little bit difficult."
"You need to have some development skills or hire a Jitterbit engineer to make changes."
"Sometimes we experience disconnections and I have to close all Jitterbit programs."
"There were some bugs in the product. For example if you run a delete query and test, it deletes the actual data."
"I would like the ability to offer a dedicated cloud version for security."
"In the past few months, there have been some server downtimes during work hours that have affected some critical scheduled integrations."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"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."
"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."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 Jitterbit price is based upon endpoints. They also offer ERP connectors with their Enterprise edition"
"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 solution's cost is mid-ranged compared to other vendors."
"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."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
