Accessible support with easy upgrades and helpful patch support
The process of upgrading the software is quite easy. For instance, upgrading the Studio is straightforward, especially if done automatically. However, I typically do it manually by downloading the patch and placing it in the dedicated folder before restarting the studio. I have successfully requested the necessary patch from Talend support multiple times to align different studio versions across the team of developers. It was not difficult, and having access to Talend support directly from TNC proved quite beneficial. Our business has been running smoothly for three and a half years.

Decreases the development timeframe and costs
The main issue with the product is pricing. It uses core-based pricing for WSO2 Enterprise Integrator and API Manager. It would be best if you had APIM by default. It provides many connectors for easy integration with third-party systems. Often, customers decide to develop using open-source tools like Spring Boot if there aren't many connectors required to avoid increasing costs. They'll develop this way and then deploy using APIM, the bare minimum needed. It is mainly required for very complicated setups with many connectors. In the implementations I've seen, people often used open-source tools because there weren't many third-party systems involved—just their organization's own systems. From WSO2 Enterprise Integrator, I expect them to bring up more and more connectors in the future. That's the main expectation. Having more connectors in various areas will help us when discussing new requirements. I don't have any specific use case right now, so I can't name a particular connector. But, as new technologies emerge, the relevant connectors should be there for those. WSO2 Enterprise Integrator mainly helps with the integration part, which can be simplified only if you have relevant connectors for whatever you're doing.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"The process of upgrading the software is quite easy."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The connectors have been the most impactful features for handling integrations. I can use these connectors when I need specific connectivity with a third party, like a core banking system in BFSI. I don't need to do all the development. I take the specific connector, put in the IP address and password, and it takes care of everything."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The solution's customer service is good."
"The solution's technical support is very knowledgeable."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"In my opinion, the most valuable aspect of this solution is its extensive range of adaptors and connectors. This feature holds significant importance and provides great value to users."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
 

Cons

"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"The biggest challenge with Talend was its performance."
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"I would like to see better documentation for the open-source version."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"There are a lot of security settings that when you apply you have to re-apply again every time you modify a setting. It is something that really needs to be enhanced."
"The setup can be difficult for those not familiar with the solution."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
 

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."
"License renewal is on a yearly basis."
"The licensing cost is about 40,000 Euros a year."
"The price of the Talend Data Management Platform is reasonable. The other competing solutions are priced high. Gartner Magic Quadrant identified other solutions, such as Informatica, that are far more expensive."
"The tool is cheap."
"The solution's pricing is very reasonable and half the cost of Informatica."
"The pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
