We performed a comparison between Alteryx and Talend Data Quality based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out what your peers are saying about Alteryx, RapidMiner, SAP and others in Predictive Analytics."Alteryx effectively visualizes the flow of data and what happens at each stage. I also like that it's a no-code solution. I also like that you can troubleshoot certain parts of the workflow by putting them in a sandbox."
"The cloud deployment ensures it scales easily."
"It has everything that one needs. Whatever you want to do with the data can be done with Alteryx."
"Alteryx is a simple and easy-to-use solution."
"The connectors are a very good feature."
"The value add of Alteryx is the agility for making changes, and speed of deployment."
"The analytics are easy."
"The philosophy of the citizen data scientist is the key piece, which means the no-code analytics capability. This is the feature that attracted us the most."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"It reduces the QA effort immensely by handling most of the test scenarios in a reusable way."
"The solution is customizable."
"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."
"It has definitely streamlined certain processes."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted."
"I 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."
"Alteryx's development environment could be improved as it requires installation locally and can't be developed in the cloud."
"In the database, it should be more functional and connect to more big data, especially using IPI."
"I mostly used it for flat files, but I have many colleagues who reported that to tune a query, in case they want to directly connect to the database, there is no option to optimize the performance of the query, as we have in Informatica."
"It should have Linux support. It currently supports only Windows. It does not support any other platform. Its price should also be lower. Their US partner management program is actually unresponsive. One of the reasons why we don't have a formalized partnership plan with them is because their partner management team is atrociously unresponsive. This is something that they need to change."
"There are a few hiccups with specific data sets and languages or formats that the data comes in. That may be a minor problem, but we can work through it. We had some issues looking at XML format in added data, but it wasn't significant."
"The only weakness I would say is on the visualization side of having that dynamic incapability."
"The principal problem is the pricing. They're expensive products."
"There's a big jump in terms of pricing between license tiers. I'm not sure I understand why the price jumps are so high."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"There are too many functions which could be streamlined."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."
"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
