Allows you to develop your own components and can be used as an OEM
Sometimes, scalability is part of planning. It depends on what you mean by scalability. People talk a lot about it, but scalability is not always about system functionality. Sometimes, it may be planning the job you're doing. If you want to split it into several jobs or servers, you don't actually have to have it built in as a functionality. You can create a job using a loop, which runs and controls several jobs in a loop that may be controlled. Scaling should not always be part of the infrastructure based on whether the engine can scale or not. I think it's your plan or project that should scale and split, and you can define these parameters. These parameters include how many servers you want to run or how many executions you want to do on different parts of the data. It's not always an issue of the engine running. Sometimes, your database should be configured to support partitioning. The product may scale very well without partitioning, but if the basic response is very slow, you didn't solve the problem. You should solve the problems at a higher level, not just at the execution level. They should be solved at the database level and communication level, and you should have firewalls. We are trying to add to the open source the ability to generate code for containers and Kubernetes that exist in the subscription version. Once you do this, Kubernetes will take care of the scaling, so there is no problem.

Fire-and-forget solution with a great infrastructure
Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal. I would also like to see more exotic connectors. Stitch is based on a single framework, which means you can build your own tab. That is not a problem and I have done it in the past for some use cases with open-source tools and it was great, but it would still be nice to have a shortcut. With more exotic connectors, we could put in minimal effort into introducing new integrations, which would enable us to quickly gather more customers in the long run. You need at least one week to do the integration. What Stitch can do is open the framework for how we can build or contribute to new integrators. They could even make it open-source.

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 was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"This product is very easy to use."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The most valuable feature of Stitch for us is ease of use. This solution is fire-and-forget. All an organization has to do is set up the connection or integration and move on."
 

Cons

"In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"The solution should offer better integration with other products."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"Generally speaking, support is a pain point. In the next release, I would love to see a change in support from the current chat to a more comprehensive portal."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend Open Studio costs about 11,000 a year."
"For Talend Open Studio, there is a need to make yearly payments towards the licensing cost. Talend Open Studio is a bit expensive, in my opinion."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"The cost, particularly in Africa, is quite high."
