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.

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

"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"You can use Talend SDK to develop your own components and add them to the product."
"The solution's technical support is responsive and helpful."
"We're sold on the customization part of the solution."
"The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."
"It's a consolidated product. It works and it does its job pretty well."
"The learning curve for this solution is very good."
"The solution basically conforms to our standards."
"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 installation process is easy."
"The solution has two main parts: integration and transformation. It's very user-friendly and easy to understand for everyone."
"WSO2's analytics capability is good, considering the ELC support they provide."
"I like the user-friendly system and development of the service-oriented architecture."
 

Cons

"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
"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 would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"The security features could be improved."
"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."
"I would like to see them bring back a feature, from earlier versions, that was very useful in debugging and finding issues."
"They should release upgrades more frequently."
"The micro integrator should be improved. There is room for enhancement considering alternative integration components."
"The product's price is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The integration capabilities need to be improved."
"The customization can be a bit difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I am using the open-source version and it is free."

"It is an open-source product."
"Open Studio has a basic license and additional costs for services, including customer support and technical assistance."
"Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
"Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
"I rate the product price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is low price and ten is high price."
"It is a low-cost solution."
"The open-source, unsupported version is available free of charge."
"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 solution costs about 20,000 or 30,000 euros per year, per instance."
"The cost is better than IBM Cloud Pak."
