Read full review I would recommend it, as VertifyData exactly fit our use case. I can't speak for all use cases and all connectors - naturally - but the ones we are using and have explored so far, work perfectly well. Also, being a person myself that is not fluent in SQL or JSON or API language in general, I was still able to create all workflows our company needed myself. Which I consider a huge benefit.
Read full review Pros We used Talend to ETLing the data from myriad sources such Oracle Database, Clarify, Salesforce, Sugar CRM, SQL DB, MQ, Stibo Step, FTP, Netezza, and Files. We leverage Talend transformation capabilities for stitching the data , unions and join We successfully created the final unified set that can be used by business Read full review Communication. Follow up. They're constantly trying to improve. Read full review Cons 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. Read full review Automated error trouble-shooting is not always clear/helpful Clearly distinguishing internal errors vs. external errors Perhaps a blog where users can interact with questions + solutions Read full review Usability 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.
Read full review Creating a mapping between source and target while also using lookups and transformations is not trivial. And VertifyData solved this reasonably well, at least all users in my organization understood it pretty quickly.
Read full review Performance It is not the easiest user interface to read/understand. However, once you understand how it works, then using it is not that bad. It's hard to remember what feature is listed under what tab (Manage vs. Define). A suggestion would be to get all call to actions on the same page
Read full review Support Rating 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
Read full review Alternatives Considered 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.
Read full review Vertify offered more flexibility and was presented as a simple solution. In reality, it is more complex that we envisioned and we have never fully utilized our tools due to the lack of ability to configure things properly.
Read full review Return on Investment 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.

VertifyData is actively taking into consideration, consulting, and supporting our plans to build out the business Read full review ScreenShots
