Rama Subba Reddy Thavva - PeerSpot reviewer
A low-code/no-code platform with a user-friendly UI
We couldn't implement or use some of the latest functionalities, like Spark. Palantir Foundry is scalable, but it is costly compared to other cloud providers. The solution is more suitable for small and medium businesses. It might be difficult for large enterprises. I rate the solution’s scalability a seven out of ten.
Selim Seddiki - PeerSpot reviewer
Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case."
"The virtualization tool is useful."
"The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing."
"I rate Palantir Foundry a ten out of ten."
"The data lineage is great."
"Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly."
"The solution offers very good end-to-end capabilities."
"Great features available in one tool."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."

"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The availability of connectors is great."

Cons

"It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point."

"Difficult to receive data from external sources."
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users."
"Cost of this solution is quite high."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"They lack in memory capacity."

"Performance and speed could be improved."
