Pros
"The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the ETL. The solution is open-source which provides advantages, such as good performance and high efficiency. Additionally, it supports three data types which eliminates predefining the data, and we can write script models in Python.""It is an incredibly user-friendly and intuitive tool, making the learning curve quite smooth""It's been able to do everything we require.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is the UI experience in which you can drag and drop most of the transformation.""The most valuable feature of Matillion ETL is its user-friendly graphical interface.""It has improved the costs of managing my customer’s data.""The loading of data is the most valuable feature of Matillion ETL.""We allow non-technical people to use Matillion to load data into our data warehouse for reporting. Thus, it is easy enough to use that we don't always have to get a technical person involved in setting up a data movement (ETL)."

"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use.""It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use.""Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL.""The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features.""The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components.""I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me.""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.""Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."

Cons
"One of the features that's in development is data privacy in the cloud, along with further SAP integration. For connectivity to SAP systems.""I found some of the more complex aspects of ETL challenging, but I grasped the concepts fairly quickly.""To complete the pipeline, they might want to include some connectors which would put the data into different platforms. This would be helpful.""The product must enhance its near-real-time data capture feature.""Sometimes, we have issues with the solution's stability and need to restart it for three weeks or more.""It can have multi-environment support. We should be able to deploy it in different environments. Its integration with SAP connection is not so nice, which should be improved. It can also support an on-prem database.""The tool's lineage is very weak.""While the UI is good, it could be improved in its efficiency and made easier to use."

"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input.""The product could be more intuitive.""The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard.""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 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.""Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement.""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.""We don't get continuous replication of the data."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Talend Open Studio solution.

    Elio B., Data Integration Specialist/CTO at Asset messages, says, "The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs. Other competing tools do not offer the same grade of flexibility when you need to go beyond what is provided by the tool. Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily."

    A Practice Head, Analytics at a tech services company mentions, “The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent. The product's data preparation features are very good. There's very useful data stewardship within the product. From a technical standpoint, the solution itself is pretty good. There are very good pre-built connectors in Talend, which is good for many clients or businesses, as, in most cases, companies are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies. That is where a tool like Talend is extremely helpful.”

    Prerna T., Senior System Executive at a tech services company, comments, “The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups. With Salesforce, when we want to relate our child objects to their parent object, we need to create them via IDs. Then the upsert operation, which will allow you to relate a child object to the event, will have an external ID. That is the best thing which keeps it very sorted. I like that.”

    An Implementation Specialist, Individual Contributor at a computer software company, states, “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.” He also adds, “It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool.”

    PeerSpot user Badrakh V., Information System Architect at Astvision, explains, "The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
