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 fact that it's built on SQL, it makes it easy to write code. The database and the connection are quite smooth."
"I like how SAP Data Services links reporting and data integration. That's what's most interesting. You also have the opportunity to leverage the power of the Data Services server."
"I appreciate having access to the SAP data."
"The basic functionality is quite good as is the basic logic and data information."
"The logic is also simple. It makes it easy to build your extraction."
"The feature of SAP Data Services has enhanced our company's business processes because we are able to run around 800 jobs in areas like data extraction and transaction objects."
"Its integration capabilities and the data migration capabilities are the most valuable. It is very good for SAP and non-SAP tools. It has very good integration with SAP, but it also has the capabilities to connect to other systems. We find it very helpful and stable."
"I have worked with Data Services for a long time, and currently, I find the dashboarding and reporting part to be the most valuable function."
"The Talend Studio connected to the Talend MDM (Master Data Management) is the most valuable feature. Talend Studio is used to create a job stream that connects to multiple data sources, matches, compares or creates a golden record for overall identification. It also has a good catalogue of objects that can be dragged and dropped for building models."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"The API integration and big data approach are very good because of how you extract data from JSP files or big data web repositories like MongoDB."
"The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component."
"There needs to be multi-language support, however, my understanding is they are working on multi-language now."
"Integration with other products could be improved."
"An area for improvement in SAP Data Services could involve making the product more accessible to non-technical end-users."
"The solution shows a lack of cloud support data services."
"The execution engines and processing engines have shortcomings and need improvements."
"They could make it easier to work with web services."
"It will work fine only in an SAP environment. It could be said that the integration with other vendors could be better."
"We would like the different tools offered within this solution to be available as standalone entities, rather than having to purchase the entire package when we only require a few features."
"It gets the job done but it's a bit slow."
"Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"Talend Open Studio is in Java language, and right now, you can only use the debug functionality in Java. I see that people who know programming languages other than Java currently face difficulties."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
