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."This product is easy to install and it can be done in a few hours."
"The transformation work called for Informatica PowerExchange. It was easy to work with this and very stable."
"From the product feature or product capability perspective, the aspects around integration, transformation, and standardization are valuable. It's fairly easy to use. It has a GUI-based interface."
"The data transformation is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The product’s flexibility is valuable."
"The most valuable feature is connectivity to data sources."
"The main benefit of PowerExchange is its native real-time capabilities. Competing tools are counting on third-party packages or Oracle to offer real-time capabilities. However, Informatica has a native ability to scan the data on the file system level and capture the changes almost instantly when I push it to the consumers. The solution has a powerful built-in replication engine."
"Overall, it's a good tool. It's currently number one on the market. It pretty much has all the necessary capabilities to pull the incremental data from the source system, technically speaking."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"I can connect with different databases such as Oracle Database or SQL Server. It allows you to extract the data from one database to another. I can structure the data by filtering and mapping the fields. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"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."
"The most valuable feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use."
"Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"Should diversify more, maybe with a reporting and visualization utility,"
"The product's high costs can be an area of concern where improvements are required."
"Pushdown optimization could be improved."
"I would like the stability to improve."
"The solution needs better integration with other tools."
"I would like to have easier integration with cloud platforms."
"V10.2 is very stable, but we are still struggling to make V10.5 stable. We found services that were down, and PowerExchange stopped working."
"They should make it quick and easy for use of citizen data integration or for people or integrators developing at the customer side. They could be development teams within the business team. For them, the product owners can consider making it a little bit more seamless and a little bit more democratized."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"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."
"It is not as visually appealing as some of the other tools."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"I rate Talend Open Studio's stability an eight out of ten. Talend has some problems sometimes."
"The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant."
