We performed a comparison between Talend Open Studio and webMethods Integration Server 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."Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"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."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"We can arrange data caching and look at the solid state. Also, the API gateway is a very good component that can handle relevant cachings and integrations, as well as and also load permitting."
"How simple it is to create new solutions."
"Given that you have one integration API in place, it takes very minimal effort to scale it to any other application that might want to use the same. Its flow-based development environment is a breeze and makes it really easy to re-use most of the existing components and build up a new API."
"It's obvious that the heart of the product lies here. It's comprised of all aspects of ESB (Enterprise Gateway, Adapter, TN, Java) and BPM (task, rules engine)."
"The most valuable feature of the webMethods Integration Server is its reliability. It has a lot of great documentation from the service providers. Additionally, it is easy to use."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"I would say the core Web-based integrations work the best. They are the most efficient and robust implementations one can do with webMethods."
"The messaging part is the most valuable feature."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"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."
"We don't get continuous replication of the data."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio has a lot of capabilities, but there is some restriction. For example, if we want to connect to an SAP system, Open Studio cannot do it. We need to go with an enterprise version. Additionally, the monitoring features could improve."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"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."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"The price should be reduced to make it more affordable."
"It would be nice if they had a change management system offering. We built our own deployer application because the one built into webMethods couldn't enforce change management rules. Integration into a change management system, along with the version control system, would be a good offering; it's something that they're lacking."
"Technical support is an area where they can improve."
"The product needs to be improved in a few ways. First, they need to stabilize the components of the whole platform across versions. Also, they should stop replacing old components with brand new ones and, rather, improve by evolution."
"As webMethods Integration Server is expensive, that's its area for improvement."
"On the monitoring side of things, the UI for monitoring could be improved. It's a bit cumbersome to work with."
"The initial setup of the webMethods Integration Server is not easy but it gets easier once you know it. It is tiresome but not difficult."
