Featured Reviews

Satyam Saxena - PeerSpot reviewer
Automation in data management improves with built-in error rejection but technical support needs enhancement
Multiple areas in Microsoft Data Quality Services could be improved, such as its ability to perform changes automatically, as it currently identifies but does not correct data issues. Regular expression processing is complicated and slow. Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation. Sometimes solutions to problems take several weeks due to a lack of support, relying instead on personal networks and experience.

Karthik Babu - PeerSpot reviewer
Have consistently ensured data accuracy and validation with built-in algorithms
I don't use the automated rule management feature in Talend Data Quality that much, so I cannot provide much feedback. I may not know what Talend Data Quality can improve for data quality. I'm not well-versed with the latest technology, so I cannot suggest additional functions that could make the product better or simplify my work with it. Generally, whatever jobs we have written in Talend Data Quality are working fine, so I am satisfied with that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"This solution is particularly useful for data enrichment."
"The primary advantage of Microsoft Data Quality Services is its capability to automate certain tasks, which are otherwise achieved through SQL queries."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."
"The solution is customizable."
"I like idea of storing the results of Data Quality jobs in a DB and having the ability to run reports in the DB to show a dashboard of quality metrics."
"We have used value frequency and patterns. We have been it impressed with these functions as they have helped us in making decisions in transformation work."
"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder.​"
"The solution enables robust data matching, merging, survivorship, and Data Stewardship that can be a part of data quality workflows or true master data management."
"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"

Cons

"Technical support from Microsoft is poor, as they do not provide adequate assistance with issues encountered in integration or forming automation."
"I would rate my experience with the initial setup a six out of ten, with one being very easy and ten being extremely challenging. So, there is room for improvement in the setup process."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."
"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is in the midrange. It's not cheap, but it depends on the licenses you require."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"It is cheaper than Informatica. Talend Data Quality costs somewhere between $10,000 to $12,000 per year for a seat license. It would cost around $20,000 per year for a concurrent license. It is the same for the whole big data solution, which comes with Talend DI, Talend DQ, and TDM."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
