Find out in this report how the two Data Quality solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."The Data Cleansing and the scorecard dashboard are very valuable. Additionally, the financial aspect of SAP Information Steward is very good. When a rule is incorrect then it will show how much is it costing the business. These features are very valuable."
"The data profiling was excellent, as was the ease of generating the dashboards."
"Setup is straightforward."
"Data insight is the most valuable feature."
"Initial setup was straightforward."
"The solution is very fast."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"The scorecard will highlight the percentage of good data and ensure the user can feel confident that the data is accurate within predetermined limits."
"The file fetch process is impeccable."
"The features that I find to be the most valuable are the extensibility, the integration, and the ease of integration with multiple platforms."
"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’s easy to monitor the processes. Every morning I’ll open the Talend Administration Center to check the status of the process. Within seconds I’m able to see which process ran successfully and which have failed and why they failed."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"Provides a flexible development environment to the coder."
"The support team is not very responsive."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"Performance could be improved."
"Granularity could be reduced from an application level to the object level."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"In redundancy analysis, the query is failing to bring non-matched records. This query is an internal script. There is no way (that I know of) to fix this syntax error for future runs."
"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."
"You can't join more than two tables for analysis."
"Heap space issues plague us consistently. We maxed it out and it runs fine, then it doesn’t, then it does."
"I would say that some of the support elements need improvement."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"In terms of the solution's technical support, the interactions were satisfactory, but there is room for improvement, especially in managing expectations."
"SQL for displaying underlying data in non-match results does not work."
