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."Reusable definition of data sources and the out-of-the-box availability of a large number maplets for common transformation functions."
"I found the map links, work links, and workflows valuable. They are important features."
"Among all the solutions I have used, I found Informatica PowerCenter to be much more stable in terms of application."
"One of the most valuable features for us is the metadata repository because it can easily understand the lineage of first target mapping. My company and I also find Informatica really easy to use—when a consultant joins our company, in just a few days to a few weeks, they can understand how to use it—so we prefer to use this ETL tool."
"The most valuable features are the metadata repository and the data warehouse application console."
"Enterprise-scale ETL solution that's very stable and is easy to scale. It integrates and connects with multiple new systems, both structured and semi-structured."
"The most valuable features are the dynamic reading of the file metadata profile, and the ability to define business rules that are used to verify and validate the uploaded files."
"Technical support is great. It's one of the reasons we really like them. When you compare support from IBM and support from Informatica, Informatica is much better."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The most valuable feature is the data loading and scripting language"
"I think Talend is one of the easiest tools for faster implementation compared to other tools."
"The basic tools are easy to pick up and understand."
"We can develop our own code if we do not see the functionality we need."
"The most valuable feature is integration."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"Talend Studio has the ability to connect to almost anything to integrate data from files, databases, web services, etc."
"Some of the conversions are done inside the product. We use work tables that are created by the engine itself, but the names of the work tables are very long, and they don't have any meaning, which makes it a bit difficult to understand and follow exactly what is happening inside."
"Support could be better."
"As a connector to big data, it is not well developed. We've had problems connecting Informatica with Hadoop. The functionality to connect Informatica with Hadoop, for me it's not good."
"Integration with Artificial Intelligence would benefit this solution."
"Integrated Reporting service should be more smoothly transitioned from view to function to be in sync with the main design."
"This solution needs the functionality to do batch processing of data. It also lacks connectivity to NoSQL, unstructured data sources."
"The licensing is difficult."
"We had stability issues, mostly with JVM size."
"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."
"We'd like to see more connectors it the future."
"The product must enhance the data quality."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"They lack in memory capacity."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
