Comprehensive documentation and smooth collaboration have transformed our development process
There are always areas for improvement. They have actually in the last 12 months done a lot of work on the UI. If you had contacted me at Christmas last year, the UI was really dated. Now, they have not finished cleaning it up or bringing it into a new flash version. But because it has such a simple design, it is actually so easy to use. They have taken a lot of the complexity out of it, so you just click on a button and it does it all for you. I think one weakness, which I might have worked around today, is spatial data. But that might change by Monday. That is again because there is so much functionality, actually the real weakness is they have got too much functionality, if that is a weakness. Because there are 10 ways to do everything, and each way has its own pros and cons, and you really have to make your decision about which way to implement it. When you have five developers or three developers doing something, it is very easy for three people to do the same thing three different ways. On the flip side, that is one of its amazing strengths, as you are not locked into a very rigid way of doing something. It means that a lot of our custom environments are fantastic because we can just plug it in a slightly different way. But because it does so much, it is a lot to get your head around the whole thing. We tend to focus on the small stuff that we are adding value to right now.

Good management and pricing but not great for enterprise environments
In a high-density location, we're running into connectivity drops. There may be too many rouge devices broadcasting, and the devices is getting interference from another channel. The only to fix this is to reboot and we need something that reboots on the fly. We also need better security for VLANs and VPNs. There are issues with certain Apple devices. Technical support is not very helpful. The initial setup, which seemed straightforward at first, had to be redone. This may not have been the fault of the product. We're not sure what went wrong.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"Overall, the management and running environment are very stable, and I would rate it an eight out of ten."
"The controller makes it easy to control everything from one platform. The management is easy."
"It's easy to manage and support the user, our guests, and our customers if they have a problem."
 

Cons

"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I wonder if, at the same price, the API component could be added, which would be beneficial."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"There are issues with certain Apple devices."
"It's stable, but it depends on the office and location."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is a little higher than what I had expected, but it's comparable with I-PASS competitors."
"The price is on a per-user basis. It's a little more expensive than other tools. There aren't any additional costs beyond the standard licensing fee."
"The tool is cheap."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
