Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"It has a very friendly user interface. You don't need to use a lot of code. For us that's the most important aspect about it. Also, it has a lot of connectors and few forms. It has a strong facial aspect. It can do a lot of facial analysis.""The most valuable feature of FME is the graphical user interface. There is nothing better. It is very easy to debug because you can see all steps where there are failures. Overall the software is easy to optimize a process.""All spatial features are unrivaled, and the possibility to execute them based on a scheduled trigger, manual, e-mail, Websocket, tweet, file/directory change or virtually any trigger is most valuable.""It has standard plug-ins available for different data sources.""We make minor subtle changes to the workbenches to improve it. We can share the workbenches. We don't have to use GitHub or anything else."

"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components.""We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need.""I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools.""The availability of connectors is great.""The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage.""The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand.""The most valuable feature is integration.""The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system."

Cons
"The one thing that always appears in the community is the ability to make really easy loops to loop through data efficiently. That needs to be added at some point.""To get a higher rating, it would have to improve the price and the associated scalability. These are the main issues.""FME can improve the geographical transformation. I've had some problems with the geographical transformations, but it's probably mostly because I'm not the most skilled geographer in-house. The solution requires some in-depth knowledge to perform some functions.""Improvements could be made to mapping presentations.""FME's price needs improvement for the African market."

More FME Cons →

"We'd like to see more connectors it the future.""Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated.""I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication.""The product must enhance the data quality.""I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself.""The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform.""The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging.""Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier."
