Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The tool's middle-dimensional structure significantly simplifies obtaining the right data at the appropriate level. This feature makes deploying our applications easier since we utilize a single source without publishing data from various sources.""It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python.""It is pretty user-friendly, even for people who aren't super technical.""It can scale to a great extent. It can handle the load that we are putting on it, which is about 5TBs.""It takes less than five minutes to set up and delivers results. It is much quicker than traditional ETL technologies.""It has helped us to get onto the cloud quickly.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL."

"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use.""A very user friendly solution.""We're sold on the customization part of the solution.""The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship.""This product is very easy to use.""You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality.""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.""The most valuable features are the ETL tools."

Cons
"Performance can be improved for efficiency, and it can be made faster.""The current version is a bit more limited because it's on a virtual machine, and everything executes on that one virtual machine.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""Going forward, I would like them to add custom jobs, since we still have to run these outside of Matillion.""Ideally, I would like it to integrate with Secrets Manager as well as the AWS.""It needs integration with more data sources.""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.""Our main challenge currently is that Matillion runs on an EC2 instance, limiting us to running only two processes simultaneously at the entry level."

More Matillion ETL Cons →

"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard.""Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down.""When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection.""The server-side should be completely revamped.""The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable.""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.""Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC.""Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Talend Open Studio solution.

    Elio B., Data Integration Specialist/CTO at Asset messages, says, "The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."

    A Practice Head, Analytics at a tech services company mentions, “The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent. The product's data preparation features are very good. There's very useful data stewardship within the product. From a technical standpoint, the solution itself is pretty good. There are very good pre-built connectors in Talend, which is good for many clients or businesses, as, in most cases, companies are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies. That is where a tool like Talend is extremely helpful.”

    Prerna T., Senior System Executive at a tech services company, comments, “The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups. With Salesforce, when we want to relate our child objects to their parent object, we need to create them via IDs. Then the upsert operation, which will allow you to relate a child object to the event, will have an external ID. That is the best thing which keeps it very sorted. I like that.”

    An Implementation Specialist, Individual Contributor at a computer software company, states, “I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields.” He also adds, “It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool.”

    PeerSpot user Badrakh V., Information System Architect at Astvision, explains, "The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
