Room For Improvement

MuleSoft Composer needs better platform integrations, interface, scalability, AI integration, and support for complex data and API sharing challenges.
Talend faces installation, support, and performance issues, with users seeking improvements in usability, scalability, and documentation accuracy.
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.

MuleSoft Composer is considered costly, especially in Brazil and India, with users recommending a 20%-30% price reduction.
Talend's pricing offers flexibility and cost-effectiveness but presents high setup costs and limited mid-tier options for enterprise users.
 

Valuable Features

MuleSoft Composer offers Salesforce integration, ease of use, API sharing, prebuilt connectors, and effective data handling, monitoring, and notifications.
Talend Data Management Platform offers high-performance data integration, real-time access, advanced monitoring, and user-friendly features for efficient operations.
Having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial.

Prince Barai - PeerSpot reviewer
The prebuilt connectors save a lot of time and money, but the customer support and price must be improved
Our customer’s system is very old. We are trying to upgrade it. We are extracting data from the system and sending it to Salesforce. The product is a good option if we want to build process automation for data. It can be done quickly through the tool. We need not do coding and waste our time and efforts. The ease of learning depends on the person who is learning the product. It depends on whether they come from a developer background. It would be easy to learn if they have some experience in coding and have worked on integrations. I haven’t faced many challenges while scaling our integration solutions with MuleSoft Composer. The drag-and-drop interface has not impacted our project deployment time much. The customer support and price can be improved. Overall, I rate the tool a seven out of ten.
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.
