Easy integration and workflow proposals streamline processes
The predefined connectors eliminate the need to write code for connectivity. If you have a predefined connector, it is easy to use with plug and play functionality. The processing time and ease of use are significant benefits. As everyone is moving into AI integration, it will definitely help. When creating workflows, they can propose solutions directly.

Data integration has become highly customizable but pricing and memory tuning still need improvement
From my experience around Business Intelligence for data and analytics for around twenty-something years, I can say that what I appreciate about Talend Data Fabric is that we can connect sources to everything and be able to customize everything. The freedom I have as a developer is what pleases me most regarding Talend Data Fabric, as I always find a way to customize a component to meet my needs. The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's most valuable feature is the CDC (Change Data Capture) component."
"Matillion ETL is one hundred percent stable."
"Matillion ETL helps manage data movement, ingestion, and transformation through pipelines."
"It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth"
"It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies."
"Compared to the likes of traditional ETLs, like Informatica, SnapLogic, and Talend, or even raw Python scripts, this product needs no improvement, as it is so much better."
"It has enabled building a data warehouse within three months from the ground up to support WMS reporting."
"It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."
"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines, letting us populate our three data lake instances, and we like this solution for its connection capabilities since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software."
"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."
"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."
"The initial setup is very easy."
"What I find most valuable about this solution is the 900 connectors because it allows me to integrate any tool and any cloud system I need to integrate and they have a connector out of the box."
"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."
"We've had no issues with the stability so far."
 

Cons

"Scalability in Matillion Data Productivity Cloud has some limitations. Depending on the nature of data sets, volume, and mixture of different data, the scalability could be improved as manual code writing is still required."
"The improvement area could be possible if the tool provides better integration capabilities with other ecosystems, including governance tools or data cataloging tools, as it is currently an area where the solution is lacking."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"When using the SQL loader type there were not a lot of pre-processing features for the data. For example, if there is a table with twenty columns, but we only want to load ten columns. In that case, we can use a security script to select the specific columns needed. However, if we want to perform extensive pre-processing of the data, I faced some challenges with Matillion ETL. I did not encounter many challenges, but my overall experience is limited as I only have three years of experience."
"The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature."
"The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine."
"I am looking forward to seeing the expansion of the source range for their data loader product."
"More frequent releases are needed, due to API changes from Google, Marketo, and Facebook."
"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet."
"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."
"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."
"I would like to see better integration with other tools."
"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."
"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."
"The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of the solution is high and could be reduced."
"The price of Matillion ETL is reasonable."
"Matillion ETL is expensive."
"The AWS pricing and licensing are a cost-effective solution for data integration needs."
"The solution is very cheap. You're paying $2.50 an hour and if you set your service up, which you can do, you're not getting charged. Currently, our ETL process is just an overnight process that runs for about an hour. I can start and stop my server just for an hour if I want to and spent $2.50 a day for an ETL solution. There are no additional costs."
"The prices needs to be lower."
"I think it is cost conscious. It used to be very cheap and they have more recently bumped up the pricing, so it is competitive now."
"It was very easy to purchase through the AWS Marketplace, but it was also expensive."
"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."
"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"
