Find out in this report how the two Data Quality solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"Setup is straightforward."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"The solution is very fast."
"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"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 file fetch process is impeccable."
"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."
"The solution is customizable."
"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."
"The Studio is easy to understand."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"The support team is not very responsive."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"Performance could be improved."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"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."
"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 terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."
"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."
"Finding assistance with issues can be spotty. With Python, there are literally millions of open source answers which are recent and apply to the version that we are using."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
