Talend Data Integration
Talend Data Integration is easy to use and learn. Talend Data Integration can perform bulk data migrations of up to a few million records without any issues. We have not tried it or had use case which required more than a few million records at a time. It works particularly well with databases and CRM software.

Recommended for:
- Multiple systems to interface for a task in the company (example: to sell an item your POS must communicate with the inventory software, then to accounting, then to service, etc).
- When a task must bring information from several external services.
- When you have to deal with multiple APIs.
- Data transformation (although Talend has a software for that that works with Talend ESB)

Pros
Talend Data Integration
- JSON parsing, if you are into highly nested JSON object parsing Talend has the ability to display the structure of JSON and allows you to define the extraction logic in the metadata. Same with XML source.
- Customization, For mostly all ETL work you will have a component in Talend. And in case you have a very specific requirement you can end up easily designing a custom component that you can code and reuse and share with others.
- Talend has a connectivity option to almost all the databases (relational or NOSQ)L and sources available. It also has generic JDBC/ ODBC drivers in case you need it.
- I like the ease of deployment across environment (DEV and PROD) with the use of context variables.

- You have to log in to each module separately
- 900 connectors is a lot, but if you have a custom app to interface, you have to develop your connector

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.

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

Alternatives Considered
Talend Data Integration
Talend is much versatile in assimilating various different business use cases. It covers more functionality and is packed with tons of features to explore. It has the ability to fine tune to each project, and not be a one-fits all solution. Problems with Excel, is that it is not suited for large projects, collaboration work. Alteryx is a very costly alternative.

- 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.

Return on Investment
Talend Data Integration
- Easy to build complex data transformations.
- Licensing model isn't that flexible.
- Memory mangement for huge volumes of information. You have to modify ETL designs to handle it properly.
