We performed a comparison between Talend Open Studio and Zapier based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"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 features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"The initial setup of the product was very easy."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"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."
"The connection between Facebook lead forms and MailChimp integrations is the most valuable feature."
"Zapier handles everything under the sun that you would think you need in automation. It is the most mature integration platform and service on the market."
"Zapier is user friendly and makes it easy to integrate different tools. It has a drag and drop functionality which makes it easy to connect environments."
"The most valuable aspect of this solution is that it is very intuitive and has a very flat learning curve."
"The ability to connect web applications to trigger actions in another app after having enriched, formatted, delayed, grouped, and filtered is really valuable for many businesses."
"The solution is a SaaS and does not require a complex setup."
"We find it effortless to set up. We really don't have to do anything other than finding the application in the Zapier catalog. And as long as the application has been re-integrated into Zapier, they're able to then just provide the connection details and hook it up."
"Zapier luckily has a wide range of integrations, I would say."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"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 product could be more intuitive."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"Some apps are not available yet. For instance, a connection with Joomla! would be great. In general, all the most-used apps are available, but I bumped into Joomla! with a client."
"The pricing of the solution is quite expensive."
"Some recent changes to the solution have made it bulky and not as intuitive to use as it previously was."
"Zapier could be a little faster, but that might not be possible. I would encourage Zapier to make more API endpoints for each application"
"It could support various languages along with Python."
"After mapping them out, and they'd worked for a while, I've had Zapier fail."
"The user interface for Zapier could be improved. It also takes some time to sync the data between different environments."
"It is not worth the money if you have a little bit of a technical mind...Zapier is not able to set up different modules. When automation doesn't work, it's not that easy to find why it didn't work."
