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."I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"The most valuable feature is the integration."
"The most important thing is that it is easy for developers to work with."
"The solution is very scalable. It can handle a lot. We have encryption plus integration servers running on that platform currently."
"It is very stable. It is a market leader, and it has connectors to many of the legacy systems. It also has enterprise cloud connectors."
"Areas for improvement would be the cloud fitness of the product and the ease of migrating to newer versions."
"It is user friendly, it's not complex."
"The high availability, tolerance, and load balancing features are top-notch. Its scalability features are also pretty cool."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten…On a scale from one to ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy, I rate the initial setup a nine."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"If I compare Open Studion to other solutions, their interface is robust but not so fancy looking. This is an area that could use improvement. I would like to see an updated interface."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
"The solution needs more integrations."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"Its price can be improved. For medium enterprises, it is a very expensive tool. In the market, you won't get many resources for this solution. You won't find many developers in the market very easily. The latest version of TIBCO (6.4 or 6.x) is not very stable. It has got many issues. We have raised this with TIBCO, and they are taking a lot of time to come up with a fix, which is making us move away from this product. Some of the performance-tuning aspects are also missing in version 6. They should provide performance-related fixes, which will be helpful for the customers. If you are migrating from the current version to the container-supported version, it is quite expensive. The product has evolved, but it is very pricey. That's one of the challenges. They have provided all the features that are there in other products, but this is a platform upgrade. The platform has completely been changed from 5.x to 6.x, and we can't use the same environment. We can't run both versions on the same server as VM. The development environment is entirely different. In version 5.x, there was a proprietary designer. Now, it has common plug-ins developed on top of Eclipse."
"The Business Studio tool can be improved, which is the tool for designing the processes. Improving the Business Studio tool will make this solution more stable. It has a steep learning curve, and it is pretty tough to learn."
"I'd like to see a new cloud approach in the next release. They need to work on integrations, stability and management issues on their cloud platform."
"TIBCO BusinessWorks could be improved with cloud support."
"They don't support out of the box - you have to buy adapters or you have to have the technology."
"The initial setup is not easy."
"Scaling with the solution is costly because if we need to scale up, we have to buy more memory. That means more money. Solutions like Camel or Pulsar come with built-in options to scale horizontally, vertically, region-wide or country-wide."
"There are multiple plugins which increase the number of product installations."
