We performed a comparison between IBM App Connect and Talend Open Studio based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
Find out in this report how the two Cloud Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."Very scalable, flexible, and user-friendly."
"It has an efficient design flow."
"Technical support is good."
"It has different type of interfaces that can integrate with companies."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"I like the adapters. The adapters help us achieve scalability. If you want to connect to SAP, there's an adapter. Salesforce? There's an adapter. You want to connect to another system? There's likely an adapter for that."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"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. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."
"The main differentiator that I have seen between Talend and other data integration tools is the ability to view the data pipeline in the form of a program."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"This product is very easy to use."
"One more important point is that if IBM improves its CI/CD capabilities, it will make a big difference. Right now, I have to create my own CI/CD setup from scratch for every client, which is inefficient."
"Plugins for the repositories are difficult to find."
"The product should improve its support."
"More connectors could be available for the product as some of the third-party software doesn't have default connectors."
"The interface could be better."
"The user interface of IBM App Connect can be a little bit more user-friendly, I would say because the first-time developer is onboarded while using IBM App Connect, he or she may get a little intimidated or daunted looking at all the options available or the pipelines, et cetera."
"IBM needs to enhance and have a stronger offering for the event streaming part because this is the future needed for the containerization and the new integration requirement."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"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."
"Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required."
"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."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The server-side should be completely revamped."
