We performed a comparison between IBM InfoSphere DataStage 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 data lineage report can be filtered for reporting. The reports are user-friendly and take less time to find what you need."
"Offers great flexibility."
"Compared to other ETL tools, DataStage has excellent debugging and development capabilities. And the availability of connectors, even though we sometimes have to opt for specific ones. Also, the availability of patches is good."
"The Hierarchical Data Stage is good."
"The most valuable feature for our data processing needs is IBM InfoSphere DataStage's capability to handle ETL tasks with large record volumes."
"The product is a stable and powerful data management solution that can run in parallel mode for enhanced speed."
"It's a robust solution."
"We can view what we want to do. We can transform data and put them on tables."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"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 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."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"So, there are some features that are missing. If I compare DataStage to Talend, Talend allows you to write custom code in Java or use these tools in your applications as well if you are building a job application. But in DataStage, it does not allow you to write custom code for any component."
"There could be more customization options for the product."
"It takes a lot of time to actually trigger your job and then go into the logs and other stuff. So all of this is really time-consuming."
"There are three things that could improve - the cloud, monitoring and cloud integration. It's a solid product but not a modern one and of course it depends what you're looking for."
"The interface needs work to be more user-friendly."
"The solution should be more user-friendly."
"We would be happy to see in next versions the ability to return several parameters from jobs. Now, jobs can return just one parameter. If they could return several parameters, that would be great."
"The graphical user interface (GUI) feels a lot like the interfaces from the 1980s."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"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."
