We performed a comparison between Talend Open Studio and webMethods Integration Server based on real PeerSpot user reviews.
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."Talend lets you do everything — mapping, workflow, and orchestration — in a single place."
"The standout feature for me is the user-friendly nature of the components."
"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."
"You can use Talend as a stand-alone application without customization to collect data and generate reports over dashboards. It's got great functionality."
"A helpful feature for us is the integration with NoSQL databases."
"This is a user-friendly solution that is easy to use."
"The product is easy to install and configure. It is one of the best tools for data integration."
"The best thing I have found with Talend Open Studio is their major support for the lookups."
"Operationally, I consider the solution to be quite good."
"A product with good API and EDI components."
"webMethods platform is used to build an EAI platform, enabling communication between many internal systems and third-party operators."
"Segregation of deployment for the environments is the most valuable feature of the solution."
"We needed a tool that was able to orchestrate and help us configure our APIs so that we could maintain and see the heartbeat, traffic, trends, etc."
"One of the most important features is that it gives you the possibility to do low-level integration. It provides a lot of features out of the box, and over the years, it has matured so much that any problem that is there in the market can be solved with this product. We can meet any requirements through customizations, transformations, or the logic that needs to be put in. Some of the other products struggle in this aspect. They cannot do things in a certain way, or they have a product limitation, whereas, with webMethods, I have never faced this kind of problem."
"It is a very stable product."
"The most valuable feature is stability."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"Talent consumes a lot of resources on my PC."
"As for improvement or additional features, I would like to know how to use Java in Talend and also how to use Talend in the cloud or in big data. I would prefer to have storage directly on Talend."
"Technical support and customer service need to be improved."
"It doesn't have the ability to keep the repository of the source code (visual pipeline). It can be integrated with Git."
"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."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by offering subscription based licensing."
"The Software AG Designer could be more memory-efficient or CPU-efficient so that we can use it with middle-spec hardware."
"When migration happens from the one release to an upgraded release from Software AG, many of the existing services are deprecated and developers have to put in effort testing and redeveloping some of the services. It would be better that upgrade releases took care to support the lower-level versions of webMethods."
"t doesn't represent OOP very well, just a method and proprietary interface called IData."
"I would like to see the price improve."
"webMethods Integration Server needs to add more adapters."
"Large file handling is pretty hard comparatively to other middleware tools."
"webMethods Integration Server could improve on the version control. I'm not sure if Web Method has some kind of inbuilt integration with Bitbucket or GitHub or some kind of version control system. However, that's one area where they can improve."
