It is saving a lot of time. Today, we can mask around a hundred million records in 10 minutes. Masking is one of the key pieces that is used heavily by the business and IT folks. Normally in the software development life cycle, before you project anything into the production environment, you have to test it in the test environment to make sure that when the data goes into production, it works, but these are all production files. For example, we acquired a new company or a new state for which we're going to do the entire back office, which is related to claims processing, payments, and member enrollment every year. If you get the production data and process it again, it becomes a compliance issue. Therefore, for any migrations that are happening, we have developed a new capability called pattern masking. This feature looks at those files, masks that information, and processes it through the system. With this, there is no PHI and PII element, and there is data integrity across different systems.
It has seamless integration with different databases. It has components using which you can easily integrate with different databases on the cloud or on-premise.
It is a drag and drop kind of tool. Instead of writing a lot of Java code or SQL queries, you can just drag and drop things. It is all very pictorial. It easily tells you where the job is failing. So, you can just go quickly and figure out why it is happening and then fix it.
View full review »Its greatest asset lies in its user-friendly interface, specifically within the Talend Open Studio, known for its ease of use and familiarity among users. The robust community support proves invaluable when encountering challenges, providing a reliable resource for issue resolution. Moreover, the pricing structure stands out as highly competitive compared to other offerings in the market, making it a cost-effective choice for users. The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work. This functionality enables a streamlined process for identifying, assigning, and subsequently addressing data quality issues.

I like the components provided by Data Quality, such as:
- Address standardization
- Fuzzy match
- Schema compliance check as they pack lot of code, which is required to perform these standard data operations.
- Doing the same by coding would be erroneous, take a lot of time, and provide output quality which is biased.
Apart from specific components, I like idea of storing the results of Data Quality jobs in a DB and having the ability to run reports in the DB to show a dashboard of quality metrics.

The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms. The integration is one of the great features, which is mainly what we use it for.

The numerous components provided by Talend. With these components you’re able to create jobs quickly and efficiently.
I also really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun.

One more good thing is that tables' metadata is easy to bring into the tool and utilize. Last thing to mention here is flexibility to use Java code inside the job.
