Architect at a tech services company with 201-500 employees

Data integration has become highly customizable but pricing and memory tuning still need improvement

From my experience around Business Intelligence for data and analytics for around twenty-something years, I can say that what I appreciate about Talend Data Fabric is that we can connect sources to everything and be able to customize everything. The freedom I have as a developer is what pleases me most regarding Talend Data Fabric, as I always find a way to customize a component to meet my needs. The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything.

Works

Facilitates seamless connections and automation across multiple data sources

Toad Data Point should include more features for utilizing AI, which can automatically perform many tasks. The tool should have a feature where, if I convert my Oracle connection, the code, whether a select statement or anything else, should automatically convert into Oracle format. The same with SQL. When connecting to SQL, the code should be in SQL format, and when connecting to Teradata, it should be in Teradata format. Since not everyone knows all languages, there should be a feature that automatically converts code into the desired format. It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The initial setup is very easy."

"It is a smart tool for us to design data pipelines. It lets us populate our three data lake instances. We like this solution for its connection capabilities, since it is very important to be able to use many different types of software. We tested a lot of SAP sources successfully, including cloud sources with SAP. It is also very easy to anonymize data with TIBCO, as well as populating HDFS files, packet files, and raw files. It is very easy to do that with Talend Data Fabric."

"Talend can be used for multi-cloud purposes, allowing users to orchestrate data across various cloud platforms without purchasing AWS Glue, Azure Data Factory, or similar cloud-specific tools."

"From my experience around Business Intelligence for data and analytics for around twenty-something years, I can say that what I appreciate about Talend Data Fabric is that we can connect sources to everything and be able to customize everything."

"We've had no issues with the stability so far."

"Everything in Talend Data Fabric is GUI-based, making it very user-friendly and easy to learn quickly."

"The Talend data integration has been one of the most valuable features."

"The Connectivity and Connection Manager supports a broad number of connection types, and it is trivial for end-users to set up their own connections to sources."

"We love it."

"One of the greatest features is that you can get data from anywhere to anywhere with Toad Data Point."

"The best thing about it is its automation features."

"It provides better SQL development tooling than SQL Developer, which is not a sufficient tool for all development use cases. It offers power developers the tools they need."

"With Toad Data Point, I can automate most steps automatically."

"The most valuable features of Toad Data are you could write a parameterized query and it wouldn't error out, it would give you the parameters that you could input. The auto-formatting feature is useful because it was great for keeping your queries neat and understandable. The auto comment, and uncomment toggles that you could do were convenient."

"I have never experienced any issues with customer service."

Cons

"We encounter issues getting email notifications. They should provide enough information about the configuration process for email components."

"Talend's architecture is complex to configure, especially due to the various components involved. It requires a more intricate setup."

"The support is not very good. The team is not well-trained, and resolving a ticket can require several discussions."

"Deployment can be difficult, but I didn't test the latest version yet. With Talend products, every release brings a lot of new features and functionalities. This is never a small adaptation, because the tool is maturing, but we need to test the latest version and to check its deployment capabilities."

"We are currently using version 7.3.1, but preferred the version before. The problem that we currently have is that Talend are releasing patches for Talend Studio every quarter. Our technical team has to be on top of these patches and constantly ensure everything is updated."

"I would like to see better integration with other tools."

"The downside, however, is indeed the pricing, which has been the biggest challenge; since it went to Click, there is no longer a free license version such as Talend Open Studio, so either you pay or you do not have anything."

"Toad Data could improve by having additional features, such as query prediction. This could help someone who's not the strongest programmer. If the software could help them write queries correctly it would be very helpful, especially for small development teams or teams that lack the input skills necessary to write and program efficiently."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"On the scheduling server, some scheduled reports just sit there and never execute for the first time. After manually executing the first time, they run with no issues."

"I used their report writing a little bit, however, it could improve since it's not a really good report writer and it's a little clunky."

"It's not user-friendly. Once you start using it, you eventually get to know the features."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version."

"The Mac license is incredibly expensive. It is 1,600 dollars each, which is more than the Windows version. Scalability is difficult when it is that costly."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"

"There are multiple subscriptions available with Talend, each with its own scope. Subscriptions depend on the number of users you have and how many remote engines you want to install."

"The price of Toad Data Point was approximately $500 annually."

"The cost of this product is reasonable."

"The Mac licenses are expensive, costing 1,600 dollars each. This is much higher than for the Windows version. I maintain a very limited number of licenses due to this cost."
