Talend Open Studio Reviews

I use this solution for development purposes. This solution is installed on my PC. For the project that we're currently working on, I am the only user.

Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others. 

Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC. Also, the support could be better. 

I have been using Talend Open Studio since April 2020. 

There are always new versions being released — new updates. Periodically, we upgrade it to avoid any old bugs. 

As it's open-source, there is no commercial support. We just use the forums and ask the community when we need help.

The initial setup was very easy. 

I installed it myself. 

We use the open-source version. It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product.

I would recommend Talend. It's open-source and it's a good product. Overall, on a scale from one to ten, I would give Talend a rating of seven. 

We use the Professional version of Talend for data integration between our IBM mainframe and Oracle to populate the Enterprise data warehouse.

It handles feeds from heterogeneous sources such as MS SQL, PostgreSQL, and flat files.

This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion.

The most valuable features of this solution are slowly changing dimension components, ELT support, and Bulk loading support.

Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required. The migration between version 5 and 6 was particularly painful for us as numerous components we had used were "end of life" in 5 and not present in 6, because of Java version upgrade issues, I think.  We had not re-generated the executable from previous upgrades, so had to put some code through what effectively was a two version upgrade, to ensure we cleared the Java version issue.

We have been using this solution for twelve years.

We are a system integrator and this is one of the products that we implement for our clients.

The most valuable features are the ETL tools.

The user interface could be made simpler.

If I am comparing to MuleSoft, there are several things that are easier, such as the integration, as well as any connection to the database, or other data source.

In the next release, I would like to see the same simplicity for many of the same functionalities.

I have been using Talend Open Studio for about one year.

The stability is good. My colleagues in Canada recommended the use of this product in banking systems because of the stability.

We have not been in contact with technical support. Any problems that we have had so far, we have been able to solve by searching with Google.

We did not use a similar solution prior to Talend Open Studio, although we are planning on switching to MuleSoft.

The initial setup is not complex. It takes approximately one week to deploy.

We have our own team for the maintenance of Talend Open Studio.

From the start, we were planning on using MuleSoft, but they don't sell to residents of Mongolia.

We used the MuleSoft community edition, and for me, it's better than Talend. In my opinion, Mule is more user-friendly and Talend can be complex. 

Our backup plan was Talend.

My advice for anybody who is considering this product is that I recommend it and they should try using it. It's not bad and if they know Java and it might be simple for them. 

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

We have migrated to the Talend Open Studio version 7.3. but have not used it yet. I have only done some testing on another computer to see how the new version is functioning.

We use Talend Open Studio only to do the ETL from our database, it takes XML files and converts them to CSV. Talend Open Studio transforms files on the website and modifies them for the database.

Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good.

There is a lot of aspect of Talend Open Studio that should be improved.

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. 

Talend Open Studio takes a lot of memory to use, we want to be careful because it needs memory.

I have been using Talend Open Studio for approximately four years.

Talend Open Studio is a very stable solution.

I have not used the support from Talend Open Studio.

The deployment of Talend Open Studio is straightforward.

We used a consultant to do the implementation of the solution.

I rate Talend Open Studio a seven out of ten.

We use it to integrate data; we take several folders, transform them, and store them in the database, which is PostgreSQL.

Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL.

As for improvements or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly in Talend.

I have used Talend Open Studio for a year and a few months.

I have been able to find the solution I need and continue working with Talend's good technical support.

It was not difficult to install.

One use case for Talend Data Management is using it for data integration from multiple data sources and then to build our customer's golden record.

The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent.

The product's data preparation features are very good.

There's very useful data stewardship within the product.

From a technical standpoint, the solution itself is pretty good.

There are very good pre-built connectors in Talend, which is good for many clients or businesses, as, in most cases, companies are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies. That is where a tool like Talend is extremely helpful. 

While I can't really speak to technical aspects that need improvement, I can say that the marketing of the solution is not the best. They need to really improve how they present the solution to potential clients.

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.

For example, if you see all the other modern products - like Snowflake or Cloudera - and go to their sites, you will have various types of documentation, including data charts and other things you can get readily access. However, if you go to the Talend site, you won't get this kind of marketing material, which is always required.

It's especially difficult when you're writing a proposal. You need to have the technical specifications. All of these modern solutions are quite advanced in terms of their documentation. You go to their site, and you will get a lot of brochures, reports, and other items. This gives you a detailed understanding of the solutions, and all of the specifications, and technicalities, and other things. For Talend, unfortunately, there's a lag in that aspect. 

From a data management or data engineering perspective, they could stabilize their new features more. 

It would be ideal if they could consider adding prescriptive or predictive models into their components, such as an alternate data IQ.

We don't use the solution directly per se. We're a solutions provider.

The solution offers very good stability. We haven't really had any issues with glitches or bugs. There aren't problems with the solution crashing or freezing on clients. It's been good.

The solution is good at scalability With their big data integration products, they're actually handling a huge data set and the scalability of it is good. They're well-positioned to scale for the client.

Technical support is pretty good. I would rate them at an eight out of ten. We've been satisfied with the level of support provided overall.

The initial setup was straightforward. It was not complex at all.

Deployment times vary according to the size of the client or their needs. If it's for a big client and big project, it could be six months of implementation time. Smaller jobs may only take one month of implementation. It all depends.

We tend to implement this solution for our clients.

I've briefly looked at Azure Data Factory and have been seeking out comparisons between these two options.

We are the solution provider. We are the company that implements such solutions as Talend. We are not the user of the solutions themselves necessarily. We are the reseller as well as implementation partners and the implementing partner of Talend. We have resources who work on these tools and who implement solutions for our customers. 

The version of the solution we use varies from client to client, especially for Talend. They have multiple products, including Talend Data Management and Talend's Data Integration Pipeline. A lot of our customers are using the open-source version of Talend. Some are using the licensed version. From those, some are using it for the data stewardship. 

We deploy both cloud and on-premises models as required.

Overall, we've been happy with the product. From a data management perspective, the data preparation, data stewardship and the other features that Talend has, including the MDM, are all extremely important for today's organization.

Overall, I would rate the solution at a seven out of ten.

We use the on-prem model of this solution. Our primary use case is for connecting legacy applications. We fill a new ERP and we also fill some legacy applications which we can integrate directly in ERP so we use Open Studio for this integration.

Open Studio is very good if you are a smaller company and you can have the budget to pay for integration. It's a useful tool that's easy to use.

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. 

Open Studio doesn't have features that some of its competitors do like administrative tools.

It is stable. This is one portion of a solution, it's not the whole. Open Studio doesn't have the software that triggers the routine every time, a scheduler. We used an external scheduler, which was set so that it grabs the file when the files appear in a folder. 

It's scalable because if you get to the point that you can't handle this small free software, you can have another software which is more expandable with more connectors and more functionalities. You can upgrade but you must pay. If you want to work in big data, you must use another software. Open Studio is for small use cases.

If you want to work on big data, if you want to work and analyze five or ten teradata then you need other software in this portfolio. It is scalable but you must change the software. You must upgrade this license and when you upgrade this license you get the support, you get more connectors, and you get additional functionalities. 

One developer uses Open Studio. We are two users, another colleague and me.

We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate.

I worked previously with Gentran Integration Suite, about five years ago. I switched to Open Studio because I switched firms.

It's a very easy integration. Not so complicated. You must use the application itself. Open Studio is free and is one small part of this portfolio which Talend offers in this portfolio.

It took two weeks to connect it but all of the preparations and everything took three months.

We deployed this solution in-house. The application was custom made for the company and this application was not compatible with the ERP. 

Talend is free and you can download it.

It's great software for someone who is starting in this area. It covers all the basics. You can work and you can learn from scratch. It's pretty easy to start and to create. It's pretty easy to start and to create an integration.

I would rate it a ten out of ten. It's a lot easier to start. You can find a lot of information on the internet. It's a big community. They offer great solutions, which you can use with your use case. If there's a problem you can solve it yourself. With Talend Open Studio you can go to Google and you'll find a lot of different cases with similar problems. If you want to create something, you can create it on your own. You don't need any big expert.

The solution, in general, offers us a lot of great advantages.

It has a lot of very interesting features that we can use.

We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease.

I can't recall any missing features within the solution. Overall, we are happy with it.

The pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable.

The solution can sometimes be slow from time to time while using the server. It would be ideal if it was more responsive.

The solution can sometimes run slow on the server. We'd like it to operate faster.

I've worked with SSIS in the past, and I've found that Talend actually offers many more features and capabilities.

The solution's pricing could be better. Its costs are a bit high.

We're primarily customers and end-users. We aren't partners with Talend.

I'd rate the solution at an eight out of ten overall. We're mostly quite happy with the product.
