We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The advantage of using MuleSoft as part as the Salesforce ecosystem is that anything new they build is guaranteed to work with the new features that are coming from the other side.""The way Composer organizes and manages integration processes is most beneficial. We can easily monitor what's running and what isn't and troubleshoot any data integration issues.""The product is easy to use. You don't need programming skills to use it.""The prebuilt connectors have saved our customers a lot of time and money."

"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others.""It is user-friendly and the interface is good.""The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use.""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.""The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component.""The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB.""The most valuable features are the ETL tools.""I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."

Cons
"The technical support team's response time must be improved.""One additional feature they could add might be something like regional prices. Since we're based in Brazil, we pay in dollars but earn in Brazilian Real.""This solution could be improved by offering more integrations with other platforms.""MuleSoft Composer needs to improve its interface and scalability."

More MuleSoft Composer Cons →

"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good.""The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features.""I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes.""The solution should offer better integration with other products.""Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement.""Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down.""The server-side should be completely revamped."

      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."
