We performed a comparison between Fivetran and Talend Data Management Platform 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."The simplicity of the solution is its valuable feature."
"Fivetran is remarkably easy to use; I haven't encountered any other data integration tool that is as user-friendly."
"The general data ingestion is valuable. It's used for a lot of data. It provides about 90% of the data we use in our data warehouse without needing data engineering."
"The most valuable feature of Fivetran is that it only synchronizes what needs to be synchronized."
"The solution is stable. We've never faced any stability issues."
"The product has some seamless connectors, which are readily available."
"Fivetran's most valuable feature is replication."
"It is not like a traditional ETL, but it gives quite a lot of flexibility."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"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 most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"We experience cost issues because Fivetran is charged on a usage basis. When you reach a certain level, the tool should focus on reducing the costs. The solution is expensive when you are moving gigabytes and petabytes of data. It should also focus more on REST APIs and webhooks."
"I would like for them to incorporate additional transformations. A valuable aspect of the product is that it does inflight transformations and that could be expanded."
"Some of the pain points we're looking at are trying to integrate some of the items in the Microsoft stack, so SharePoint and Excel, and then some of the newer Azure services."
"The connections with SAP must be improved."
"The interface needs to be more user-friendly."
"I would like Fivetran to implement additional resource monitoring and restriction policies."
"Fivetran is very expensive for data sources with a lot of rows, such as email data. I would like to see cheaper pricing for data sources like that."
"Fivetran would be improved by adding the ability to integrate the data from third-party APIs."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"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 product must enhance the data quality."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"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."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
