Supports API integrations and enables users to handle data management

Informatica is a well-established product known for its stability. Hardware and configuration can affect its performance, and it's not a lightweight tool that will fail quickly. When purchasing Informatica, you have options based on your needs. A simple data ingestion or integration license is relatively affordable, but the full Data Fabric suite is expensive. The Data Fabric suite includes integration, data quality, API management, big data processing, and real-time capabilities. For those who don't need the entire suite, purchasing individual components, such as data integration or data quality, it is a more cost-effective option. These individual licenses are generally less expensive than the complete Data Fabric suite, offering a more flexible and budget-friendly choice than Informatica's flagship.

Quick to set up, flexible, and stable

The scheduling part I don't like due to the fact that it allows you to schedule as a parent and child and other things, however, the error trackability has to be a little more user-friendly. It's also not user-friendly in the sense that it loads all the jobs and there are not enough filters so that it doesn't need to load everything. If the job fails, you don't get any type of alert or email. It would be ideal if there was some sort of automated alert message. Technical support isn't the best. It would be ideal if we understood how to do it in a card exception regarding exclusion, where the card is captured separately rather than filling the whole process on the data inbound side. Certain workloads like this are organized in such a way where you seem to be doubling the work as opposed to streamlining the process.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

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

"The initial setup is very easy."

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

"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."

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

"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."

"The most valuable feature is the metadata generated code."

"WhereScape RED has improved our business's ability to generate needed reporting without requiring a large team of developers to manually code all of the necessary plumbing."

"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."

"I like the data vault implementations."

"Data transformations and rollups are easy to accomplish."

"Naturally produces a way to easily debug your DW data solutions."

"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."

More WhereScape RED pros

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."

"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."

"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."

"It could use a tool to diagnose what is missing from the environment for WhereScape to install successfully."

"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."

"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."

"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."

"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."

"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."

"Customization could be better."

"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."

More WhereScape RED cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"There are no additional licensing fees when you scale"

"ROI is at least 10 times."

"Factor in the price of specialized consulting who know this product. They're hard to find and expensive."

"Speed to market of a warehouse solution at a relatively inexpensive price point."

"Our company purchased a corporate unlimited license."
