"The most valuable features are data quality insight, metadata management, and metadata dictionary."
"Ability to collect information, monitor user access and to plan storage capacity."
"This product speeds up the unit testing and QA for specific test scenarios. As a result, the development output quality can be evaluated and adjusted."
"I really like the fact that there are no out-of-the-box solutions regarding the development of jobs. Other vendors may have modules which cleanse your addresses. In Talend, you have the freedom to completely develop the process yourself. This can be tricky, but it also makes it fun."
"With its frequency function, we were able to pick a line of business to be addressed first in one of our conversion projects."
"The file fetch process is impeccable."
"It offers advanced features that allow you to create custom patterns and use regular expressions to identify data issues."
"tLogRows are also great for finding bad data."
"The most valuable feature lies in the capability to assign data quality issues to different stakeholders, facilitating the tracking and resolution of defective work."
"We are able to get emails from URLs very easily using this function when others fail."
"The user experience of metapedia could be improved."
"A problem with the solution is that it does not allow us to review the results of Information Stewards for other analogies."
"Performance could be improved."
"Needs to be more powerful on rules."
"The support team is not very responsive."
"We'd like to see some manipulation techniques included in SAP Information Steward."
"The solution could improve by incorporating other applications, such as Power BI to show more visualization. More interaction with other solutions would be a good benefit."
"SAP Information Steward could be improved by offering a cloud version of the product."
"When we upgraded to Version 6.4.1, we tried using a GIT repository instead of a SVN repository. After a few incidents where things disappeared and changes were not saved, we decided to go back to a SVN repository."
"It would be more helpful if it offered dynamic dashboards that could be directly used by clients for better analysis."
"The ability to change the code when debugging the JavaScript could be improved."
"If the SQL input controls could dynamically determine the schema-based on the SQL alone, it would simplify the steps of having to use a manually created and saved schema for use in the TMap for the Postgres and Redshift components. This would make things even easier."
"The performance is one area that Talend Data Quality could improve in because large volumes take a lot of time."
"They don't have any AI capabilities. Talend DQ is specifically for data quality, which only has data profiling. With Talend DQ, I cannot generate any reports today, so I need an ETL tool. It provides general Excel files, or I have to create some views. If instead of buying a new tool, Talend provides a reporting capability or solution, it would be great. It will reduce the development effort for creating these kinds of reports. We also manage the infrastructure for Talend. From the licensing perspective, for cloud, they only have seat licenses where one person is tied to one license, but for on-premise, they have concurrent licenses. It would be really awesome if they can provide concurrent licenses for the cloud so that if one person is not there, somebody else can use that license. Currently, it is not possible unless a person deactivates his or her license and moves the same seat license to someone else. We are one of the biggest customers in the central zone of the US for Talend, and this is the feedback that we have provided them again and again, but they come back and say that they aren't able to provide concurrent licenses on the cloud. In version 7.3, there is a feature for tokenization and de-tokenization of data. This is the feature that we are looking for. It is useful if somebody wants to see what we have masked and how do we demask it. This feature is not there in version 7.1. There are also a few other capabilities on the cloud, but we don't yet have a big footprint in the cloud."
"There are more functions in a non-streamlined manner, which could be refined to arrive at a better off-the-shelf functions."
"If we encounter issues, it’s most likely when using the Talend Open Studio. The studio can be slow, get stuck, or crash. But again, it can be caused by the resources of your machine or your connection with the repository. If we encounter issues with the Studio we restart the Studio. In emergencies, we create and use a new workspace."
