We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros | |
"All our systems can be widely integrated by ODI, such as transactional systems, our data warehouses, and B2B integration." "It's completely user-friendly." "The most valuable feature that we use is the Knowledge Modules." "All ETL code is stored in repositories in underlying database schemas. The number of users can access and work on the same solution using a client tool. So distributed teams can work on this tool in an efficient manner." "The scalability is great. It's one of the reasons we chose the solution." | "A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases." "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 initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days." "You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality." "This solution has improved our overall time to value for data ingestion." "The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good." "Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality." "We're sold on the customization part of the solution." |
Cons | |
"It would be really good if Oracle considered enabling the tool to integrate with some other platforms that are deprecated simply for commercial reasons" "Overall the product is fine, but sometimes its reports unknown errors while we compile ETL scripts." "The performance of the user interface is in need of improvement." "There are certain things where it can be improved. Initial solution setup seems a bit complex at the start, it should be improved because it becomes bit tough for a novice to get started on this. Sometimes error description is not helpful to understand the problem it gives some generic type of errors which are at times not that helpful to understand the underlying root cause of the issue." "The resource management aspect of the solution could be improved." | "The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive." "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." "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." "There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources." "Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required." "Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement." "The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard." "It gets the job done but it's a bit slow." |
Pricing and Cost Advice | |
"We found that the cost compared to other integration tools is a little high, but the solution works great." | "Talend is free and you can download it." "The paid version of this solution has a very high price, but even with the limitations, the Community version works fine." "Price could be lower. It is getting too expensive when compared to some other solutions, which is actually a little bit concerning." "There are many versions available and one is open-sourced which is free." |

It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading. Top Answer: Pricing is on a yearly basis. Top Answer: We don't get continuous replication of the data. This is something that should be improved. Other competitors have it but for this solution continuous replication is lagging. |
