Talend Open Studio Pros and Cons

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 helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases.

Talend Studio has the ability to use it to ensure data quality.

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.

The initial setup was quite straightforward. The deployment took between two and three days.

The drag-and-drop feature in the interface is very good.

The most interesting aspect of the solution for us is that Talend Open Studio has a good balance between the features and the cost of the data management platform.

The most valuable features are the ETL tools.

You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality.

We're sold on the customization part of the solution.

The server-side should be completely revamped.

The price for Talend Data Integration should be less expensive.

The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard.

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.

The profiling perspective needs improvement. Instead of using it in the studio, we are using a different tool which is also provided by Talend. It's redundant.

Having additional training materials, such as a video tutorial, would be an improvement.

The solution should offer better integration with other products.

The user interface could be made simpler.

There used to be many Youtube channels that offered Talend training, but now there don't seem to be any. The solution should offer more online training resources.

It gets the job done but it's a bit slow.
