Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The virtualization tool is useful.""The data lineage is great.""The security is also excellent. It's highly granular, so the admins have a high degree of control, and there are many levels of security. That worked well. You won't have an EDC unless you put everything onto the platform because it is its own isolated thing.""Encapsulates all the components without the requirement to integrate or check compatibility.""The ease of use is my favorite feature. We're able to build different models and projects or combine different projects to build one use case.""Great features available in one tool.""Live video sessions enhance the available documentation and allow you to ask questions directly.""It is easy to map out a workflow and run trigger-based scripts without having to deploy to another server."

"It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading.""The product's initial setup phase was easy.""A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases.""We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate.""The initial setup of the product was very easy.""It is user-friendly and the interface is good.""The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models.""Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"

Cons
"The solution could use more online documentation for new users.""The data lineage was challenging. It's hard to track data from the sources as it moves through stages. Informatica EDC can easily capture and report it because it talks to the metadata. This is generated across those various staging points.""It would be helpful to build applications based on Azure functions or web apps in Palantir Foundry.""They do not have a data center in Europe, and we have lots of personally identifiable information in our dataset that needs to be hosted by a third-party data center like Amazon or Microsoft Azure.""It requires a lot of manual work and is very time-consuming to get to a functional point.""Compared to other hyperscalers, Palantir Foundry is complex and not so user-intuitive.""Difficult to receive data from external sources.""If you want to create new models on specific data sets, computing that is quite costly."

More Palantir Foundry Cons →

"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement.""The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC.""It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git.""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.""Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated.""The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."

    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."
