Syniti Data Quality vs Talend Data Quality comparison

"The customer service and support is good."

"With Syniti Data Quality, you can integrate SAP and directly fix errors from Syniti Data Quality instead of logging into SAP and then fixing them."

"Syniti has built-in 80% of the solution, and we only need to customize 20 to 25% of the features. It is easy to run and pre-load reports."

"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."

"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."

"The jobs are visual and this has improved collaboration between colleagues. It’s much easier to understand a visual job than a piece of Java code."

"The numerous components provided by Talend mean you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently."

"It is saving a lot of time. Today, we can mask around a hundred million records in 10 minutes. Masking is one of the key pieces that is used heavily by the business and IT folks. Normally in the software development life cycle, before you project anything into the production environment, you have to test it in the test environment to make sure that when the data goes into production, it works, but these are all production files. For example, we acquired a new company or a new state for which we're going to do the entire back office, which is related to claims processing, payments, and member enrollment every year. If you get the production data and process it again, it becomes a compliance issue. Therefore, for any migrations that are happening, we have developed a new capability called pattern masking. This feature looks at those files, masks that information, and processes it through the system. With this, there is no PHI and PII element, and there is data integrity across different systems. It has seamless integration with different databases. It has components using which you can easily integrate with different databases on the cloud or on-premise. It is a drag and drop kind of tool. Instead of writing a lot of Java code or SQL queries, you can just drag and drop things. It is all very pictorial. It easily tells you where the job is failing. So, you can just go quickly and figure out why it is happening and then fix it."

"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."

"The Studio is easy to understand."

"The file fetch process is impeccable."

"Some of the algorithms that are inbuilt in Talend Data Quality, such as Levenshtein, are the most valuable functions for us."

"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."

"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."

"The customization of the data needs improvement. We need to build basic SQL queries rather than being able to do it within the tool. We need to be able to analyze the SQL queries and then rerun them based on customer usage."

"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."

"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."

"Needs integrated data governance in terms of dictionaries, glossaries, data lineage, and impact analysis. It also needs operationalization of meta-data."

"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."

"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."

"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."

"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."

"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."

"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."

"The solution is expensive."

"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."

"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."

"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."

"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."

"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
