Offers features that pinpoints locations with maps and provides reporting about data performance and completeness
Until I work with a customer, I won't be able to recognize the performance regarding the integration of records, especially when records are coming in as a full load or a delta after an initial load. I have to check how it performs in the integration part when pushing the entire data into MDM. Most tools have a downside in this area. So far, I have not faced any other problems regarding Reltio. I just did a certification and the provided hands-on exercises. I didn't find anything concerning, but I would definitely want to use the AI features introduced in Reltio more. The Hands-on Lab in the certification allows you to try out certain AI features.

Good stewardship and data prep capabilities with responsive technical support, but the deployment can be tricky
The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep. These two are very good on the Talend platform. The Talend data catalog is one of the great features that they implemented recently. It's more about data lineage and it may assist with the data governance program. It is a feature that is emerging in the market now.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"There are default limitations and considerations. For instance, Reltio can store a maximum of 200 values for a single attribute. If your data exceeds this limit, you can request Reltio support to increase the limit. However, be aware that increasing this limit may impact performance, potentially slowing down data loading times."
"It is very easy to learn. The"
"We can store the data and enrich it from multiple sources."
"Its user interface is different from that of other MDM solutions like Informatica"
"The matching feature of Reltio Cloud is highly effective compared to many other tools available. Additionally, it is almost ready to use out-of-the-box, reducing the implementation time."
"The most valuable feature is real-time synchronization. You can see the events as soon as they are posted within a couple of fraction seconds."
"The most valuable feature of Reltio Cloud is the customization we can make in its functionality."
"The solution saves 30% to 40% of our time."
"I really like the data fabric."
"The biggest advantage of Talend is that they have an active community. If we face any issue, we can get input in a short duration of time."
"The most valuable features are the stewardship and the data prep."
 

Cons

"There is some lag in developing new features for specific business requirements. If a new feature is needed, we have to raise a request in the developer portal through the IDEA portal. This process takes time to develop, which can be a drawback when immediate business needs arise."
"Reltio Cloud could be improved in two specific areas. Firstly, the API capability needs to be enhanced, as when utilizing the REST API and posting a significant amount of data, there are multiple rejections from the MDM side. This can be due to the MDM server not responding or being unable to process the request. Therefore, I suggest that the API capacity should be increased to handle larger amounts of data. Additionally, I have noticed that the response time from the servers can take up to a minute or a few seconds, which can be improved for a faster response time."
"Sometimes, the service goes down for maintenance or when we run a lot of jobs so things get pushed to the queue and results don't get delivered on time."
"AI features should be introduced in Reltio more."
"The solution's UI could be enhanced, and its record filtering could be expanded."
"The deployment is difficult."
"The download process can be quite slow"
"We need manual data modeling and configuration to tailor the platform to our requirements."
"It can definitely be improved on the UI side. They can provide a better UI as compared to what is currently available. I'm trying to set up the UI to capture some information, and when I try to use the native feature of Talend, I'm finding it difficult. It could be improved a bit. Only when it comes to MDM, it is not user-friendly, but when it comes to data integration of Big Data, it's extremely user-friendly."
"Creating a model and deploying it is a little bit tricky in Talend, compared to other tools."
"I do not have notes for improvement."
