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 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."
"It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use."
"The most valuable features of Talend Open Studio are customization and integration."
"The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"Talend is safe to use because it is very restrictive. It is easy to use when one learns how to manipulate data with SQL."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"I didn't have many problems installing it. It seemed very straightforward to me."
"Workato is low code, intuitive, and easy to use."
"It is very easy to use. It takes complex workloads away, and it provides very smooth integration. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box connectors. It has got a lot of out-of-the-box APIs, which makes it really easy to integrate with applications for different use cases, whether it is in finance, HR, or customer operations. It is by far our favorite integration product."
"It's easy to understand, makes flows and is efficient."
"Their automation and workflows are very strong, and you can build the workflows very easily and quickly."
"The most valuable features are easy integration, quick tab to develop, quick tab to market, and interactive integration platform."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a ten out of ten."
"It is easier to use than other technical open-source technologies."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"The stability of the solution could improve when running jobs. There can be errors when running projects but in the end, it works well and the errors do not impact the result."
"In the next release, Open Studio should include cloud storage as an input."
"It needs better installation configuration for other databases. Although the installation allows you to select another database, this doesn't mean that all connection points in the application point to the database selected. You actually need to do a search through the entire install to locate the configuration settings and change them."
"The security features could be improved."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"Talend should improve the log and error handling to better track the errors you find during development. Sometimes it's challenging to see what's causing an issue, and tracking that on Talend is complicated."
"In terms of what can be improved, the scheduling is not there in the sister version, while it is there in the cloud one, which is a paid version. If all kinds of scheduling could be available on the Open Studio that we generally use and practice on, that would be great. The scheduling of the data migration is currently not available in the sister version of Talend Open Studio that we are working on. It is available in the advanced version of the Talend. This is the one thing that can be improvised."
"The only minor drawback would be if there was a UI at the front of it, for apps and for a portal as well, it would make it really easy. It would be really useful if there were more apps capabilities."
"The management dashboard in the solution is an area with shortcomings that needs improvement."
"I would like to see the dashboarding and reporting processes improved."
"A limitation is that their cloud presence is only in North America and Europe."
"It is tedious to make a tailor-fit function."
"From the deployment point of view, our customers encounter platform downtime where it does not serve the actual request on the systems."
"Workato's Extract, transform, and load (ETL) and extract, load, and transform (ELT) are not very strong and could be improved for very complex transformations."
