"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 feature for me when it comes to this solution is that it's easy to use.""We're able to handle large amounts of data with ease.""It has got so many connectors. It is intuitive and easy to use.""The solution has a good balance between automated items and the ability for a developer to integrate and extend what he needs.

Talend, on the other hand, allows you to expand very easily.""We're sold on the customization part of the solution.""Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good.""It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."

Cons
"Including either XML or JSON in the next release would definitely be a good transformation. I'm not sure if Talend has that feature, but it's one of those requirements that we are working around and have to do some parsing of XML so this could make it easier.""The solution's memory sometimes bottlenecks and that can be challenging.""Once you get past the basic tools, it gets pretty complicated.""The documentation from version to version could be more accurate.""I've had some issues with bugs causing crashes, especially when making changes to the system or with the monthly upgrades to Studio they've introduced.""The product must enhance the data quality.""I would like to sync a project and do an upload from that current version, and then from GitLab, be able to download the latest one.""The stability is good, but the performance is slower when I work on a huge amount of data."

More Talend Data Management Platform Cons →

"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.""The physical appearance of the product is an area of concern where improvements are required.""The high price of the solution is an area of concern where improvements are required.""Talend Open Studio's interface does not provide a good experience...I would like to see better documentation and a more enhanced graphical interface in Talend Open Studio.""The server-side should be completely revamped.""Inter-version compatibility is a problem, and migration projects between versions are required.""It is complicated to understand the configuration process for email components.""The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."

    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."
