We performed a comparison between Informatica PowerExchange and Talend Data Management Platform based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"The user interface and user experience are perfectly all right."
"It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools."
"Provides a significant amount of control over the landscape and overall implementation."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The solution can connect to different systems i.e. mainframe, IMS or AS/400 Legacy Systems."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"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."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."
"Real-time has not been enhanced that much over the past few years. There has not been as many features added like they did before."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"The solution could be made more user-friendly. The configurations are also quite difficult."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"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."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced."
