Find out what your peers are saying about Microsoft, Informatica, Oracle and others in Data Integration."The rapidity of integration with data may be one of the valuable features."
"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. It is very user-friendly. You need to know the basics of SQL development or SQL queries, and you can use this tool."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"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."
"Open Studio's best features are that it's user-friendly, even for beginners, and very easy to implement."
"The data integration aspect of the solution is excellent."
"WhereScape is really helpful in terms of architecture data. Everything is one of automation. Two people can do thousands of tables in one day or two. It saves a lot of time."
"Their support staff are very knowledgeable, courteous, and professional. I feel their support staff go above and beyond to assure their customers are satisfied."
"This is a fantastically robust DW tool that will make you at least 10 times faster in producing a DW."
"I found the initial setup very easy."
"RED has provided us the ability to integrate, stage, and transform data from diverse sources into an enterprise-grade data warehouse which meets the needs of my organization, but it also enables us to easily and quickly make ETL or DW changes."
"Support is absolutely excellent, efficient, and timely."
"WhereScape's deployment package is a fantastic feature. The application allows for selecting specific objects that you would like to deploy from one environment to another rather than deploying the entire database."
"The tool supports multiple target update methods."
"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."
"In version 6.2 we did encounter issues with the job servers and specifically with ESB. Version 6.3 is better but large jobs can cause the MDM server to fall over, requiring a reboot."
"It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components."
"The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive."
"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."
"I would say that writing to JSON is kind of a pain. It reads from a JSON file pretty well, but writing to a JSON file is not so great because its components are not good."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"The user interface could be made simpler."
"Jobs cannot be deleted via the deployment package. When deploying from dev to QA or production, a job has to be retired. The job has to be manually removed from the target environment."
"The solution can be a little more user-friendly on enterprise-level where people use it."
"Project-based searching of data objects in the data warehouse browser needs to be improved."
"Customization could be better."
"The scheduled jobs which are run by the WhereScape scheduler seem to be a strangely separate animal. Unlike all other WhereScape objects, jobs cannot be added to WhereScape projects. Also, unlike all other objects, jobs also cannot be deleted using a WhereScape deployment application."
"No support for change data capture or delta detection - that must be custom coded ."
"Improve the object renaming ability (it works, but it could be more automated)."
"They need a more robust support center. It has been a bit difficult to find solutions to problems that are out-of-the-box."
