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.

Architect at Wipro
A stable solution with multiple workflow capabilities, but lightweight DAM capabilities and lacking a good search and match feature
The solution does not have a good match and search capability. It only has a basic, exact match search. Any upgrades to the search and match capability, seeing non-exact or fuzzy matches for example, would be good improvements. Also, the DAM solution provided by Riversand is comparatively lightweight, so you are still dependent on a third-party DAM solution provider, like Team Seven, to make it a complete solution. Some improvement in the DAM area would be a major help. From a data quality perspective, there are not a lot of data quality rules that can be enabled. Also, there is no specific data quality engine available, unlike Informatica, where you have the option of leveraging the PIM tool for data quality capabilities. Plus, you can leverage apps out of IDQ and make them available in PIM. If these kinds of options were made available in Riversand, they would definitely be welcome features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Some of the algorithms that are inbuilt in Talend Data Quality, such as Levenshtein, are the most valuable functions for us."
"You move data from one source to another without problem and apply some business rules in data."
"The primary use case is for data ingestion."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"We have used value frequency and patterns. We have been it impressed with these functions as they have helped us in making decisions in transformation work."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"There are a lot of workflow-related capabilities in Riversand, such as packaging-related AI-based algorithms that automatically assign specific packaging for a given product within the workflow."
"I like their matching feature, and the survivorship rules are very strong. I also like their out-of-box reports, data quality dashboards, and more. Those are also very handy and helpful. Internally, I like the kind of configurations that we can create, validations, and enhancements. Those configurations are pretty straightforward and useful. It's a user-friendly tool that is very cool."
"It's a stable solution. I have no complaints."

"Has a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly."
"This solution provides a good user interface and the ability to update large sets of products quickly, along with providing good off-the-shelf functionality."
 

Cons

"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The usage of memory. This tool uses a huge amount of memory."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. For example, if in any project your headcount increases or decreases, you do not have that concurrence and you have a seat license, you run into challenges because you have to procure a few more licenses for getting the job done."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
"NullPointerExceptions are going to be the death of me and are a big reason for our transition away from Talend. One day, it is fine with a 1000 blank rows, then the next day, it will find one blank cell and it breaks down."
"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part. They don't have their own integration platform. We have to rely on a third-party integration partner. They say this is the format, and it's the client's responsibility to bring the data into their required format. They have to have an integration partner and develop their integration capabilities. It's not so flexible to read any data format or system, for example, SAP. They don't have a connector."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
"The solution does not have a good match and search capability."
"The technical support for partners is not so good. It takes a long time to get a response."
"Integration could be better. Riversand is majorly focusing on only the MDM hub part."
"The ability to create bespoke workflows could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
"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."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"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."
"Riversand MDMCenter isn't expensive. I believe their price is in the mid-range."
