When a task must bring information from several external services.
When you have to deal with multiple APIs.

Not recommended for:

Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB)

Alternatives Considered

SQL Data Warehousing is much easier to manage if you already have SQL Server experience and analysts who are familiar with its interface.

Additionally, we have to re-train our users to learn how to create python scripts and use spark to query the data

First, it is a lot of cheaper than the closest competitor.
Second, Talend ESB is in the same league as other stronger brands.
Third, the functions and modules are a 360 solution to implement an ESB.
