Qlik Talend Cloud vs. Spotfire Streaming

This tool fits all kinds of organizations and helps to integrate data between many applications. We can use this tool as data integration is a key feature for all organizations. It is also available in the cloud, which makes the integration more seamless. The firm can opt for the required tools when there are no data integration needs.

Taking data from various sources including files, databases, web services, applying some complex rules, transforming, aggregating and producing a result. This is what Spotfire Streaming does best.
- If one needs connectivity to special services as secured databases or web services, building interactive web apps, those are probably tasks that shall be addressed with different tools.

• Talend Data Integration allows us to quickly build data integrations without a tremendous amount of custom coding (some Java and JavaScript knowledge is still required).
• I like the UI and it's very intuitive. Jobs are visual, allowing the team members to see the flow of the data, without having to read through the Java code that is generated.
• Dynamically table creation from new source.

• Processing events in real-time with real low latency and high throughput.
• 100% visual program language, which can be extended by common languages like Java, Python and .NET.
• Reduced time to prototype, create an application and deployment, which reduces the software lifecycle.
• Real robust engine and server. Barely heard of customers having issues in production.

• Pricing for sure can be the area for improvement.
• Real time processing is slow as compared to other tools like Abinitio.
• While developing batches, it crashes a lot. It may be the issue with me, but I wanted to highlight it.

• Being a niche tool, there's not much community support
• It is on prem, making it slow to boot. not cloud native (It could be that it is our org's issue)
• The dev environment is very tough to understand for large projects due to the wire style UI/UX

We use Talend Data Integration day in and day out. It is the best and easiest tool to jump on to and use. We can build a basic integration super-fast. We could build basic integrations as fast as within the hour. It is also easy to build transformations and use Java to perform some operations.

The usability is good in terms that it gets well integrated with the Spotfire suite but the only few issues I have is the tough UI/UX (learning curve, if the project is huge) and unable to find many users and devs to help with the queries. At the end it is solely based on the documentation provided which is never enough

Good support, specially when it relates to PROD environment. The support team has access to the product development team. Things are internally escalated to development team if there is a bug encountered. This helps the customer to get quick fix or patch designed for problem exceptions. I have also seen support showing their willingness to help develop custom connector for a newly available cloud based big data solution

Spotfire Streaming support is prompt and to the point. They help with best practices and learning from existing projects.

In comparison with the other ETLs I used, Talend is more flexible than Data Services (where you cannot create complex commands). It is similar to Datastage speaking about commands and interfaces. It is more user-friendly than ODI, which has a metadata point of view on its own, while Talend is more classic. It has both on-prem and cloud approaches, while Matillion is only cloud-based.

We are using Dataflow (by Google).The development time in Spotfire Streaming is definitely shorter because its GUI based. Dataflow handles late arrivals after the window closes, not sure Spotfire Streaming can do that. Dataflow can run GCP as a managed service which is why we chose that tool for our new product.

• It’s only been a positive RoI with Talend given we’ve interfaced large datasets between critical on-Prem and cloud-native apps to efficiently run our business operations.
• 40K+ plots data, covering 1K+ crop varieties.
• 3K+ Customer & their credit data, 3K+ product inventory & pricing.

• While we haven't specifically integrated Spotfire Streaming into our product development, it has allowed us to see the benefits of real-time streaming data.
• We have much more visibility into how our longer term roadmap will look and what we should focus on.
