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.

Improved workflow collaboration and data flexibility enhance team efficiency, but performance and logout issues require attention
Regarding improvements or enhancements in TIBCO EBX, when it comes to 5.8 to 5.9, there was a really good feature added, which is the hyperlink. When you click on a table, you navigate to deeper tables. If there is a table with ten fields, those ten fields are taken from a second table and interrelated to a third table, you can keep clicking on each field and go deeper and deeper. To come each level above, there is a hyperlink created on the top. You just need to click on the hyperlink and keep navigating back, similar to certain websites. However, there were some drawbacks I noticed with the latest version 6, particularly in terms of performance, where in a few cases, the performance was impacted, necessitating work to get things sorted. Additionally, the logout from the application happened randomly or sometimes it wasn't logging out, which is a compliance issue since users expect to log out after a certain time. Version 6 introduced a strong filtration logic. All EBX versions have a separate section for filters that offer text search and advanced search options. In EBX 6, they enhanced the search feature deeply, including conjunctions and, or, else, allowing you to create your own logic for how you need the filter to work. They also introduced a top-level search feature, where you enter some text, and it searches the entire table. With the latest update of TIBCO EBX, there are a few issues with the workflow that need improvement. When going through a workflow, there are functionalities to upload files, and sometimes you need to attach files for evidence. That section of EBX had certain issues. We dropped the plan to switch to EBX 6 due to other technical limitations on our side. Those were a few pending items we had raised to them, and they were working on resolving them. From a usage point of view, those were the main concerns, but they introduced a good idea about the side panel. The pagination concept was introduced to navigate among different domains, and in the left panel, you have search capabilities and pagination functionality.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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 availability of connectors is great."
"The solution enables robust data matching, merging, survivorship, and Data Stewardship that can be a part of data quality workflows or true master data management."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"​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 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."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
"It is easy to code, especially because it is coded in Java."
"The API and the data model are very valuable features."
"The feature I appreciate most about TIBCO EBX is the UI, which is quite simple and user-friendly."
"The product is extremely flexible."
"What I find best about TIBCO EBX is its workflow modeling capabilities, which are very good for a master data management tool."
"TIBCO EBX saves a lot of time and gives considerable flexibility to business users who might not be completely technical but can work on it in specific areas."
"The customizable data model feature of TIBCO EBX has helped in addressing the complex data requirements of our organization, as its customizability is not only limited to the UI functionality, but also provides extended functionality to use external APIs within the code on the data model level and workflow model level."
"EBX is cost-effective as it is a web-based application."
 

Cons

"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Talend Data Integration can be improved by reducing the license cost, as it is a bit high compared to other tools, which can be a burden for small-scale companies wanting to buy a license."
"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."
"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."
"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."
"The support isn't great and takes too long. And the pricing can be improved."
"The product does not scale well horizontally. We find the scalability to be quite inferior to other options."
"With complex data models or when there are more records and association tables, the system experiences noticeable slowness in loading records."
"Everything is updated through forms, and working with UI web forms. It's more record-based processing. It is not mass-based processing. This is one of the things that are not good for TIBCO EBX. Another problem is we cannot join tables and prepare a view where the tables are joined. Someone can code it but it is not a feature of the solution without code. You have to take data from a table, combine it with data from another table and then present it. This could be done better."
"The design should be easier and more visual."
"We observe performance issues lately. If we perform any bulk update or use the bulk functionality to update the data, during that time, the index rebuild happens in the back end. The operations team faces issues, including downtime or slowness, and we monitor it, performing any required actions such as restarting applications."
"In terms of improvements that this solution needs, it should support big data."
"The documentation needs improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"I have been using the open-source version."
"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."
"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 tool is cheap."
"The product pricing is considered very good, especially compared to other data integration tools in the market."
"TIBCO EBX is cheaper than Informatica."
"TIBCO EBX is a very expensive solution. There is an annual fee to use the solution."
"This solution is costly compared to other products on the market, but this is due to the complete functionality that is provided. The pricing model is very straightforward, and is worked out on a pay-per- instance basis, and only applies to active instances."
"I'm just involved in technical, but I understand that its pricing is similar to HP so it is quite expensive."
"The price of TIBCO EBX is too high. The solution can only be used in a project that has good sponsorship that can afford it."
