Intuitive interface and documentation make it simple to build jobs and APIs and logging helps pinpoint and resolve issues quickly
Talend is doing a lot of work at the moment, and it's not there yet, but the whole platform could be managed in a SaaS-type environment. You still need to have the Studio running on a virtual desktop or a PC. They will get to be able to do the whole thing inside your browser, so you don't need to install anything locally. It's down the track, and it's the nirvana that we were looking for in Boomi. But the biggest challenge they have is that the platform is so focused on the Studio for all of its development. They'll probably get there, but they have such a mature Studio client that it's a huge amount of work to get all of that functionality into a browser or SaaS platform. That's pretty much the biggest flaw with the Talend environment—being reliant on the Studio, which needed to be on a local machine. The only other thing is that you have to integrate into an API gateway. We're in Azure, so we use Microsoft Azure Gateway. It doesn't come with its own gateway, which is another sort of big plus side that we saw in Boomi. Talend isn't quite there yet with the API gateway. Other than that, it's bloody hard to find something because it just seems to be all good.

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 data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"The stability is excellent."
"It's a very complete product. It allows us to network security and add more layers of security to the system."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"The drag-and-drop features for connectors are very valuable."
"The customer service executives are very responsive."
"It was mostly easy to set up the product."
 

Cons

"The solution should integrate with a version control system in the subscription versions to make it easy to work with and manage the version control."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"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."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
"There is a need for mastery in some areas."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"If I have to buy software, then it becomes expensive for me."
"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."
"You cannot include the validation of XPath."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The administration side is complex and could use significant improvements to enhance the solution's functionality."
"WSO2 libraries are not mature enough. For example, if you want to integrate with Kafka using its Kafka library, it often has many bugs."
"The server is very specific and it is very difficult to get experience with it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free."
"We are using the free version of the tool, because the enterprise version is a little expensive."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"It is an open-source product."
"Talend is free and you can download it."
"It is an open-source tool which means it is a free solution."
"Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
"The solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"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 pricing of WSO2 Enterprise Integrator for enterprise subscriptions can be considered expensive, especially from the perspective of someone who prefers open-source software."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"It is a low-cost solution."
