"The solution is very stable. We haven't faced any issues with glitches or bugs. We haven't had any crashes."
"The technical support is excellent."
"Its robustness is valuable. It is a full-fledged suite. We have a data warehouse model, and there are also a lot of data quality management tools. The repository and all other tools are there. So, it is a full package in terms of reporting tools."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to customize."
"This is an established product with powerful data analysis and varied options for user entry points."
"The product offers very good flexibility."
"In terms of which features I have found most valuable, I would say the importing and exporting features. Additionally, the data sorting, categorizing and summarizing features, especially how it can summarize based on categories. These are the key features."
"The tool is reliable, quick, and powerful."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"Very little needs to improve but perhaps a nicer graphic interface and remaining competetive in the growing field of data analytics."
"We find we often have to go back and re-train users when there are changes made to the solution because the changes are not intuitive."
"The solution is quite expensive and hard to install/configure."
"The pricing of the solution needs to be improved. They need to work to make it more affordable."
"The solution could use better documentation."
"One problem is accessing the data using a solution other than SAS. The SAS data, which we create in the SAS, cannot be accessed by other tools. We can't open those data in other applications. So we need to have that application in place."
"With SAS Data Management, you have to purchase an external driver, configure all of the tables for all of the data that you will extract from Salesforce. It's not a straightforward process."
"I would like the tool to include the ability to automate the modifications of the integrations."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
