Sentiment score
7.6
Talend Data Management Platform offers strong scalability, integrating with cloud and Docker, suitable for large-scale enterprise operations.
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 autoscale process works well, allowing the system to start another node automatically if the first machine reaches 80% capacity.
 

Stability Issues

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is stable and effective, with responsive support; hardware or configurations occasionally cause issues.
Sentiment score

Room For Improvement

Matillion needs frequent API updates, improved UI, better documentation, more integrations, enhanced scalability, and real-time data capture.
Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
The main areas for improvement are AI features and scalability.
Connections to BigQuery for extracting information are complex.
On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something.
Data management could also encompass APIs and real-time streaming data integration.
 

Setup Cost

Matillion's pricing is competitive, flexible, and cost-effective, with discounts for annual commitments and strategic instance management.
Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
Matillion Data Productivity Cloud offers discounts and special deals, especially when dealing with high-volume clients or fewer existing clients in specific regions, like Spain.
The pricing is moderate, neither expensive nor cheap.
 

Valuable Features

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud enhances ETL processes with user-friendly tools, automation, and security for efficient, scalable data management.
Talend Data Management Platform offers high-performance data integration, real-time access, advanced monitoring, and user-friendly features for efficient operations.

Matillion Data Productivity Cloud is effective for ingest functions, particularly when moving information to Snowflake and performing many transformations.
Having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial.

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.
Jason Hale - PeerSpot reviewer
Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.
