Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"I rate the technical support a ten out of ten.""The capability of the tool to scan and capture the metadata from a variety of sources is one of the capabilities that I find most useful. The central repository into which it is going to put that captured metadata is the best.""The most valuable feature is its ability to extract metadata from various sources- be it an old SaaS application or the latest cloud application.""The metadata management of Informatica is great.""Multifeatured and easily scalable data catalog, with good data domain discovery and data profiling features.""We can scan anything.""It can automatically connect or associate business terms with various options, providing flexibility beyond general capabilities.""The way that the solution scans is very useful."

"I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV.""The solution is connected to various phones. It retrieves the configuration from the system.""The most valuable feature is integration.""The availability of connectors is great.""The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component.""The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components.""The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage.""I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."

Cons
"This solution is hard to set up and its interface is not user-friendly. It's also not as stable, and the technical support takes a lot of time to solve simple problems.""The solution is quite expensive.""The UX and UI of the solution are areas with certain shortcomings where improvements can be made in the future.""Currently, there are limitations in processing and the interface.""They have to improve their relationship discovery tool. They say that they have AI inside, but this AI did not automatically find relationships or suggested relationships between entities.""Interoperability is one area where EDC has room for improvement. It was challenging when the faculty took over the data world and had specific vendors they wanted to use, and some were not particularly open platforms.""It is more complicated to extract data using the product compared to Visio. The system could display the details on the screen.""The scalability is tough."

"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform.""They lack in memory capacity.""Performance and speed could be improved.""We'd like to see more connectors it the future.""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.""I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself.""The documentation from version to version could be more accurate.""The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
