Offers predefined rules and easy to migrate data with minimum customisation of rules
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. We should be able to tune the existing process by using simple SQL queries based on the customer's requirements. In future releases, I would like to see more features around Preload and postload reports. From the end-user point of view, it is not very feasible to read. I need to know how the data has been migrated. I need to know whether the complete data has been migrated, only the required data has been migrated, and how it was migrated. So the postload reports will give validation between the source data and the target source. It would give exact picture of the data migration.

Stands out for its user-friendly interface, robust community support, competitive pricing and strategic approach to improving data accuracy
Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The major benefits of Syniti Data Quality stem from the productivity and flexibility it offers to users."
"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 customer service and support is good."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes.​"
"​It lowers the amount of time in development from weeks to a day.​"
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"​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.​"
"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."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"The solution is customizable."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
 

Cons

"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."
"The loading mechanisms and administration processes, particularly in setting up connections and deploying the system, need improvement."
"It would be good if Syniti Data Quality could integrate more AI in the future."
"In Syniti Data Quality, data extraction is an area with certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
"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."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I would rate the pricing a six out of ten, where one is cheap, and ten is expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"I would advise to first take a look and at the Open Studio edition. Figure out what you need and purchase the appropriate license."
"We did not purchase a separate license for DQ. It is part of our data platform suite, and I believe it is well-priced."
"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."
"It's a subscription-based platform, we renew it every year."
"Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users."
