Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours.""The product's initial setup phase was not complex. The tool is easy to install onto any of the servers, and you can integrate it.""The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine.""It is easy to integrate the solution with other tools.""Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking.""From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface.""The product’s flexibility is valuable.""It is a scalable and versatile solution."

"They're very competitive in terms of performance, which is a good selling point. It has very rich features. It provides a very rich feature set in the application.""The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand.""Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc.""The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components.""We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need.""I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools.""I like the way that you can use the context variables, and how you can work those context variables to give you values and settings for every development environment, such as PROD, TEST, and DEV.""The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."

Cons
"Pushdown optimization could be improved.""The product is not suitable for application integration.""Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,""I would like the stability to improve.""V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working.""The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required.""The one place where it could be improved is definitely pricing. That's a very big problem. It depends product to product, but pricing is an issue.""The connectivity with T24 core banking could be improved."

"They lack in memory capacity.""I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced.""I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself.""The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging.""The product must enhance the data quality.""The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform.""Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier.""We'd like to see more connectors it the future."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "An annual package license fee is required."
  • "The cost of PowerExchange is reasonable. It does not rely on complicated formulas or unrealistic equations. The pricing model is straightforward. There is one component, and real-time integration is included. Some other solutions require purchasing additional modules or third-party plugins for this capability."
  • "It's expensive. In fact, nobody would buy any product of Informatica if the price was the only consideration. It costs money, and it doesn't come cheap, but it provides value for money in many ways."
  • "There is a need to pay towards the licensing cost of the product. It is an expensive product."
  • "Many users don't prefer to use the product, considering the high costs attached to the licensing part of the solution."
