IT Consultant at a tech services company with 201-500 employees
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.

Senior Lead Architect at a manufacturing company with 1,001-5,000 employees
Simplified integrations bring flexibility and efficiency to diverse industries through comprehensive features and robust support
SAP is already trying to make improvements for SAP Process Orchestration by releasing updates every quarter, including patches and modules, and from a security standpoint, while it's a tightly coupled tool, they are introducing a lot of enhancements aligned with current market trends. There are standard contents readily available for starting integrations, which suit around 90% of every industry across verticals including pharma, manufacturing, and employee data central with SuccessFactors integration. Regarding functionality-wise improvements in SAP Process Orchestration, they are now incorporating the Salesforce system. Previously, we needed to rely on a third-party adapter for integration within SAP, but now they are building their own adapters to connect with Salesforce. Additionally, there are options like data connectors using Ariba coming up with SAP Process Orchestration. There's much more to explore, especially as they release new patches, enhancements, and adapters each quarter.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"I like idea of storing the results of Data Quality jobs in a DB and having the ability to run reports in the DB to show a dashboard of quality metrics."
"Flexibility is a key feature I appreciate about Talend Data Integration, especially the integration of Java within it and the ease of integrating with multiple source repositories such as GitHub and Bitbucket."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"Talend's most valuable feature is its ability to generate code and packages efficiently."
"The wide range of components which suits a variety of purposes and provides a flexible development environment to the coder."
"Qlik Talend Cloud has had a positive impact on my organization by automating data integration processes, reducing manual errors, and ensuring reliable and up-to-date data for reports and business decisions."
"The most valuable feature is the seamless integration with backend systems."
"The solution offers very good documentation and manuals to assist with understanding the solution."
"SAP Process Orchestration is something that I recommend because it is a very high-quality product."
"With the migration into the new version, the performance has improved and our customers are pleased with this improvement."
"Someone who has to work on a PO should at least have a basic understanding of Java because as it is an integration tool, the way SAP provides to transform the messages from one structure to another is very good."
"The initial setup is easy...The solution gets automatically connected. The deployment takes six months. I rate its setup phase a ten out of ten."
"SAP Process Orchestration provides extensive integrations with external partners, supports B2B operations, and has prepackaged content that saves development time."
"The most valuable features of SAP Process Orchestration are its system monitoring and alerts."
 

Cons

"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"There are no concurrent licenses, they only have seat licenses on cloud. That's the whole challenge. 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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."
"I feel that support is an area that needs improvement. They need to improve the response time and address the customer's issues as soon as possible."
"The cloud capability features need improvement."
"In terms of technical support, it would be helpful if they handled the tickets a bit faster when queries are sent to them."
"SAP should improve the user interface, as it often lacks modern features and aesthetic appeal."
"Process Orchestration needs to provide secure connectivity as no one has any data information."
"The main issue is that these products, which evolved from Process Integration to SAP Process Orchestration, will be replaced and will have no support in the future."
"We have experienced latency and reliability issues when using large amounts of data."
"The monitoring governance offered by SAP is too technical and needs to be geared more toward business users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"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."
"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 pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"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 price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The pricing depends on what type of client you are with SAP and the contract you have. There is a licensing cost that needs to be paid."
"The price of SAP Process Orchestration was reasonable."
"We subscribe to annual licenses, and the competitive license cost is reasonable."
"The pricing for this solution is fine."
"Looking at market conditions, vendors nowadays are giving products at very low price levels. However, SAP Process Orchestration have not yet reduced their prices. The prices could be reduced a lot to stay competitive."
"Normally, you will have to choose CPU-based licensing...I rate the tool price a five out of ten."
"The solution is highly-priced."
"There are fees in addition to the licensing."
