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."There is a friendly interface for configuration, and integration is made easy."
"It's a powerful application for collaboration. It has many features for customization and integration."
"When using IBM stacks, IBM App Connect is suitable and integrates well with other IBM products like WebSphere."
"Provides good security features."
"It can handle API conversions with mapping and transformation rules, simplifying the development process."
"App Connect's best feature is that it can be deployed in a container."
"The most valuable feature is the security."
"We use IBM App Connect for the integration between the applications."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"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."
"Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product"
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion."
"The most valuable features are the ETL tools."
"The addition of string functionality would be a benefit, particularly in the ESQL space that IBM already uses internally."
"The product should improve its support."
"The installation of containers could be simplified, as it currently requires a senior-level installer."
"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."
"In the next release, I would like to get some quality connectors."
"It is not easy to deploy. It requires someone with a high level of knowledge in the solution to deploy it, not just anyone can do it."
"The setup time for App Connect could be improved."
"They reply in one or two hours at most, but they could be better."
"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."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"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."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
