We performed a comparison between Informatica Cloud Data Integration and Talend Data Management Platform 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."The most valuable features of the solution are pushdown, optimization, and partitioning, which can be used for frequent data loading, especially when we have a huge data volume in our company."
"Whether we need data cleansing or data mastering, we get it all in one platform."
"Replication allows us to fully replicate all objects from Shop Floor Data Collection (SFDC) to in-house/on-premises database in one job."
"Their new licensing is very flexible. With Informatica Cloud, you have plenty of items under the same umbrella, such as services, offerings, data quality, and data masking. You have also got master data management and API management. What I really like about them is that you don't need to go to Informatica and say that you need a data integration module. You would say that you need iPaaS or Informatica Cloud. They'll then try to understand your needs and give you IPUs, which are the processing units. If I purchased a hundred IPUs from Informatica as a customer, I can use 70 IPUs for data integration. I would also need data quality, so I can use 10 IPUs for data quality. I can use the remaining 20 IPUs for API management. Down the line, if I see that my initial data integration needs for the development phase are met, then out of the 70 IPUs assigned for data integration, I can use 30 IPUs for data masking. I can shuffle these numbers in any way within the Informatica Cloud umbrella for the tenure for which I have subscribed to these IPUs. I can use all services the way I want. This flexibility is what I really love about Informatica. It also has got good connectors."
"The product is scalable and excellent for enterprise-level organizations."
"The solution is straightforward."
"The solution provides increased efficiency while still being user-friendly and easy to operate."
"The most valuable feature is the building of mockups and tasks."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"The availability of connectors is great."
"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 can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"One area that needs to improve is the user experience because it is very complex. The trial version is very complex so it's not easy to start using the program immediately. You must study the rules first."
"I have received feedback from certain teams and there is a steep learning curve to use this solution."
"Performance also needs to be significantly improved, especially when connecting to SFDC for read and write operations."
"There is room for improvement at the highest level in terms of useability and connectors for various types of new applications. The row processing performance could be better because you experience some latency dealing with high volumes of data. Most organizations will be dealing with multiple cloud applications, so you could see performance issues moving from one system to another."
"Error reporting and debugging need improvement."
"The error information provided is not informative, as compared to Power Center."
"It needs to be a little more intuitive but it’s really not bad."
"While my company operates on the cloud, we have seen that Informatica Cloud Data Integration has some performance issues causing it to lag."
"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."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
"I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"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."
