Director - Metrics & Analytics at a computer software company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Efficient data warehouse automation with robust features, but may require enhancements in user-friendly self-service options and pricing flexibility for broader corporate appeal
It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it. When it comes to end users who may lack technical expertise, they are limited to toggling between existing developments. To empower end users to make critical changes without relying heavily on technical expertise, it would be beneficial to introduce more user-friendly features for development and modification. If it could incorporate correlation analysis capabilities into its platform, especially in a user-friendly manner, it would greatly enhance the tool's overall utility and make it an even more outstanding solution. There is a room for improvement regarding stability.

Has automated recurring data flows and improved accuracy in reporting
The best features of Talend Data Integration are its rich set of components that let you connect to almost any data design intuitive and its strong automation and scheduling capabilities. The TMap component is especially valuable because it allows flexible transformation, joins, and filtering in a single place. I also rely a lot on context variables to manage different environments like Dev, Test, and production, without changing the code. The error handling and logging tools are very helpful for monitoring and troubleshooting, which makes the workflow more reliable. Talend Data Integration has helped our company by automating and standardizing data processes. Before, many of these tasks were done manually, which took more time and often led to errors. With Talend Data Integration, we built automated pipelines that extract, clean, and load data consistently. This not only saves hours of manual effort, but also improves the accuracy and reliability of data. As a result, business teams had faster access to trustworthy information for reporting and decision making, which directly improved efficiency and productivity. Talend Data Integration has had a measurable impact on our organization. By automating daily data loading processes, we reduced manual effort by around three or four hours per day, which saved roughly 60 to 80 hours per month. We also improved data accuracy. Error rates dropped by more than 70% because validation rules were built into the jobs. In addition, reporting teams now receive fresh data at least 50% faster, which means they can make decisions earlier and with more confidence. Overall, Talend Data Integration has increased both efficiency and reliability in our data workflows.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years."
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good."
"There were many valuable features, such as extracting any data to put in the cloud. For example, Qlik was able to gather data from SAP and extract SAP data from the platforms."
"The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities."
"It's a stable solution."
"It can scale."
"Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive."
"It is a scalable solution."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"​This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted.​"
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"Maybe the best thing is the product's easy start-up level when you are familiar with Java."
"The product's integration with PostgreSQL and Jira has been helpful for us. Its performance is good. However, we do not use it for large data sets."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
 

Cons

"It would be better if the first level of technical support were a bit more technically knowledgeable to solve the problem. I think they could also improve the injection of custom scripts. It is pretty difficult to add additional scripts. If the modeling doesn't give you what you want, and you want to change the script generated by the modeling, it is a bit more challenging than in most other products. It is very good with standard form type systems, but if you get a more complicated data paradigm, it tends to struggle with transforming that into a model."
"There could be more customization options."
"I don't think Qlik can be used in a high-volume scenario. It didn't work for us."
"Qlik's ETL and data transformation could be better."
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help."
"I'd like to have access to more developer training materials."
"I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved."
"For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."
"Qlik Talend Cloud could be improved with more advanced monitoring and flexible alerts, as well as better job performance visibility."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"Qlik Talend Cloud has impacted my organization by increasing the license cost, leading many companies to decide to decommission Talend, as they find the cost too high."
"If I am designing something in Talend Data Integration, I cannot backtrack in the flow. For example, if I read data from a source and transform it before applying complex aggregation in the third step, I cannot join this data with the second step."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"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."
"Qlik Talend Cloud is doing well, but one improvement could be the integration of development functionalities we use in Talend Studio directly onto the Talend browser."
"Sometimes when working with larger datasets (possibly due to insufficient memory)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"On a scale of one to ten, where one is cheap, and ten is very expensive, I rate the solution a six."
"The price of the solution is expensive."
"While they outperform Tableau, there's room for improvement in Qlik's pricing structures, especially for corporate clients like us."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"The licensing cost for the Talend MDM Platform is paid yearly, but I'm unable to give you the figure. I would rate its price as four out of five because it's on the cheaper side. I'm not aware of any extra costs in addition to the standard licensing fees for the Talend MDM Platform."
"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."
"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
