We performed a comparison between Quest SharePlex 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 core replication and its performance. Performance is crucial, and SharePlex is by far the fastest. The way it handles replication to multiple targets along with basic filtering, as well as from multiple sources to a single target, is very efficient."
"The core features of the solution we like are the reliability of the data transfer and the accuracy of data read and write. The stability of the solution is also excellent."
"There are some capabilities within SharePlex where you can see how the data is migrating and if it still maintains good data integrity. For example, if there are some tables that get out of sync, there are ways to find them and fix the problem on the spot. Since these are very common issues, we can easily fix these types of problems using utilities, like compare and repair. So, if you find something is out of sync, then you can just repair that table. It basically syncs that table from source to target to see if there are any differences. It will then replicate those differences to the target."
"Because of the volume of the transactions, we heavily use a feature that allows SharePlex to replicate thousands of transactions. It's called PEP, Post Enhancement Performance, and that has helped us scale tremendously."
"I like SharePlex's Compare and Repair tool."
"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."
"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."
"I like everything about this product, but the biggest thing is the ease of use."
"The most valuable features of the Talend Data Management Platform are the components."
"The solution can run on any machine and that is a big advantage."
"The features that I like the most are the simplicity of the interface, and the ability to quickly develop with a predefined component."
"The solution is very user-friendly and easy to understand."
"The reporting features need improvement. It would be very good for users to have a clear understanding of the status of replication."
"For its function in relation to replication (i.e. filtering), I'd give it a six or seven out of 10. GoldenGate has much more functionality by comparison."
"I don't know how easy it would be to change the architecture in an already implemented replication. For example, if we have a certain way of architecting for a particular database migration and want to change that during a period of time, is that an easy or difficult change? There was a need for us to change the architecture in-between the migration, but we didn't do it. We thought, "This is possibly complicated. Let's not change it in the middle because we were approaching our cutover date." That was one thing that we should have checked with support about for training."
"I would like the solution to have some kind of machine learning and AI capabilities. Often, if we want to improve the performance of posting, we have to bump up a parameter. That means we need to stop the process, come up with a figure that we want to bump the parameter up to, and then start SharePlex. Machine learning and AI capabilities for these kinds of improvement would tremendously help boost productivity for us."
"I would like more ability to automate installation and configuration in line with some of the DevOps processes that are more mature in the market. That would be a considerable improvement."
"Performance and speed could be improved."
"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."
"The documentation from version to version could be more accurate."
"The sales and market department could improve the Talend Data Management Platform."
"I think they should drive toward AI and machine learning. They could include a machine-learning algorithm for the deduplication."
"I'd be interested in seeing the running of Python programs and transformations from within the studio itself."
"The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."
"The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging."
