AI compliance integration elevates data quality and decision-making
I usually implement Precisely and Collibra tools for clients to enhance data quality. My main use case involves working with the data catalog of Precisely to integrate data management processes and ensure data governance Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which…

Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Precisely has the AI Act already implemented into the data catalog, which allows the integration of the European Artificial Intelligence Act into our processes."
"Using Precisely improves data quality, which can lead to a 30% increase in revenue and boost net income by 20% to 25% if implemented correctly."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"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."
"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 rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"This product is very easy to use."
 

Cons

"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"Precisely works with a tool called Analyze, which has a steep learning curve due to its use of Jython, a combination of Java and Python. This could be improved to make the tool more user-friendly."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"The security features could be improved."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway."
"The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Pricing is always a challenge. It is quite an expensive model, but because the platform is so simple to use, we haven't had to purchase any additional licenses."
"The solution will be more expensive if you have a low data volume and a large number of developers."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Right now, because we're using the open-source version, there's no cost."
