"The most valuable is its capability to enhance the documentation process, particularly when creating software documentation."
"Implementing Confluent's schema registry has significantly enhanced our organization's data quality assurance."
"The solution can handle a high volume of data because it works and scales well."

"A person with a good IT background and HTML will not have any trouble with Confluent."
"I find Confluent's Kafka Connectors and Kafka Streams invaluable for my use cases because they simplify real-time data processing and ETL tasks by providing reliable, pre-packaged connectors and tools."
"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 data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"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."
"Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good."

"Confluent has a good monitoring tool, but it's not customizable."
"It could have more integration with different platforms."
"there is room for improvement in the visualization."
"It would help if the knowledge based documents in the support portal could be available for public use as well."
"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."
"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 pricing could be lower. They should work to make it more affordable."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"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."
"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."
"he overall marketing and documentation of this product need to improve a lot."
