Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"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.""We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease.""Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL.""It's a good tool. It has the ability to take apart and install whatever we need. It's very good for data, transformation, and loading.""The most valuable feature of Talend Open Studio is the tMap component. There is a lot of functionality in one component.""Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good.""Talend Open Studio's installation process is easy. One just needs to install Java before installing the product""There are many architectures: hybrid, cloud, and on-prem."

More Talend Open Studio Pros →

"The drag and drop functionality is quite good.""The most valuable feature of Kofax RPA is the simplicity of automating tasks.""The most valuable features are workflow and process automation.""The product saves time and resources.""It is stable and scalable.""The product provides end-to-end solutions for different business problems.""The pricing of the solution is quite good.""It is very simple and easy to learn compared to any other RPA tools such as UiPath, Automation Anywhere and Blue Prism."

Cons
"We don't get continuous replication of the data.""Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required.""Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC.""The security features could be improved.""It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components.""The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive.""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.""The product could be more intuitive."

More Talend Open Studio Cons →

"The technical support must be improved.""The product needs more AI capabilities.""The product has some constraints and performance issues.""Its documentation is not widely available on the web. They should work on the availability of its documentation. In Automation Anywhere, there is a feature called Discovery Bot that automatically records the process steps and suggests a possible bot. I am not sure if such a feature is available in Kofax. If it is not available, it will be very good to have this feature. ""The scalability has room for improvement.""RPA technology is constantly changing, and sometimes Kofax lags behind.""Kofax RPA's UI could be more user-friendly.""There is really nothing special about the capabilities of this product."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "Pricing and licensing are fairly straightforward. It is reasonably priced and managed."
  • "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."
  • "The cost for one year for the ETL tools, not for the big data, is 6K per year. It is a good price."
  • "It does the job well for nothing — without cost. That's the advantage of this product."
  • "Talend Open Studio is priced too high."
  • More Talend Open Studio Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The normal price for an on-premises license is €50,000. That's the price for one robot license. You can have more than one robot license but only one can be run at any one time. I believe the cost of adding a second robot is around €14,000."
  • "Price is not a problem, because they are a competitor and we have a special rate."
  • "I don't have complete insight at this point in time, but I would guess that Kofax is a lot less expensive than Automation Anywhere. I would expect its license to be on a yearly basis."
  • "Its pricing is reasonable given the product capabilities. Kofax has a wide range of products, and it can sometimes be confusing to understand which capabilities come with which product set. One of the key facets that we've been looking into recently is cognitive document recognition that was a core pile of some of their other technologies such as Kofax transformation modules (KTM)."
  • "Kofax's prices are pretty reasonable."
  • "There is a standard license needed to use Kofax RPA and the price is reasonable."
  • "Kofax RPA is moderately priced but expensive in comparison to UiPath and Power Automate."
  • "I give the price of the solution a six out of ten."

    Reviews from Real Users

    Below are some reviews and helpful feedback written by PeerSpot users currently using the Talend Open Studio solution.

    Elio B., Data Integration Specialist/CTO at Asset messages, says, "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."

    A Practice Head, Analytics at a tech services company mentions, “The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent. The product's data preparation features are very good. There's very useful data stewardship within the product. From a technical standpoint, the solution itself is pretty good. There are very good pre-built connectors in Talend, which is good for many clients or businesses, as, in most cases, companies are dealing with multiple data sources from multiple technologies. That is where a tool like Talend is extremely helpful.”

    Prerna T., Senior System Executive at a tech services company, comments, “The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups. With Salesforce, when we want to relate our child objects to their parent object, we need to create them via IDs. Then the upsert operation, which will allow you to relate a child object to the event, will have an external ID. That is the best thing which keeps it very sorted. I like that.”

    An Implementation Specialist, Individual Contributor at a computer software company, states, “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.” He also adds, “It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool.”

    PeerSpot user Badrakh V., Information System Architect at Astvision, explains, "The most valuable features are the ETL tools."

    Tungsten RPA offers an efficient solution for streamlining business processes through Robotic Process Automation (RPA), which utilizes software "bots" to automate tasks like data entry and form filling.
