We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"As long as you pick the solution that best fits with your requirements, you won't find that performance is a problem. It's good.""The most valuable is its excellence as a graphical data representation tool and the versatility it offers, especially with drill-down capabilities.""I like modeling and code generation. It has become a pretty handy tool because of its short ideation to delivery time. From the time you decide you are modeling a data warehouse, and once you finish the modeling, it generates all the code, generates all the tables. All you have to do is tick a few things, and you can produce a fully functional warehouse. I also like that they have added all the features I have asked for over four years.""Qlik Compose is good enough. It is user-friendly and intuitive.""It is a scalable solution.""One of the most valuable features of this tool is its automation capabilities, allowing us to design the warehouse in an automated manner. Additionally, we can generate Data Lifecycle Policies (DLP) reports and efficiently implement updates and best practices based on proven design patterns.""It's a stable solution.""I have found it to be a very good, stable, and strong product."

"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.""Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product""The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship.""The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good.""You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality.""The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB.""The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration.""I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."

Cons
"There is some scope for improvement around the documentation, and a better UI would definitely help.""It could enhance its capabilities in the realm of self-service options as currently, it is more suited for individuals with technical proficiency who can create pages using it.""I believe that visual data flow management and the transformation function should be improved.""There should be proper documentation available for the implementation process.""I'd like to have access to more developer training materials.""There could be more customization options.""My issues with the solution's stability are owing to the fact that it has certain bugs causing issues in some functionalities that should be working.""For more complex work, we are not using Qlik Compose because it cannot handle very high volumes at the moment. It needs the same batching capabilities that other ETL tools have. We can't batch the data into small chunks when transforming large amounts of data. It tries to do everything in one shot and that's where it fails."

More Qlik Compose Cons →

"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components.""In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot.""In terms of features, it has all the features that I need. However, it consumes a lot of resources. It is using a lot of RAM, and they need to fix the issue related to resource consumption. It currently requires more than 24 gigabytes of RAM, which is a big amount of RAM.""It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools.""The server-side should be completely revamped.""The product could be more intuitive.""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.""I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Talend Open Studio solution.

    Elio B., Data Integration Specialist/CTO at Asset messages, says, "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."

    A Practice Head, Analytics at a tech services company mentions, “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.”

    Prerna T., Senior System Executive at a tech services company, comments, “The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups. With Salesforce, when we want to relate our child objects to their parent object, we need to create them via IDs. Then the upsert operation, which will allow you to relate a child object to the event, will have an external ID. That is the best thing which keeps it very sorted. I like that.”

    An Implementation Specialist, Individual Contributor at a computer software company, states, “I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields.” He also adds, “It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool.”

    PeerSpot user Badrakh V., Information System Architect at Astvision, explains, "The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
