  • Generated optimized code for building data pipelines.
  • Ingested and integrated data from both On-Premises and Cloud environment.
  • Created roles for data cleansing, or need to trace data lineage to ensure compliance and integrity.
  • Hadoop-related and big data components need to be rewritten and improved by Talend.
  • The exception handling is not convenient. You can either let go of the exception or stop the process or use an external controller to resume the applications. But you cannot customize the try-catch block of the exception itself.
  • Sometimes you have to use "Ctrl" sometimes "Cmd" is really badly done. In my experience the speed of learning clashes with the consumption of resources and the slowness of the interfaces. An interface made in pure Java requires more time to implement but is definitely more performing.

  • It supports a wide variety of connectors (Systems/endpoints)
  • It provides great flexibility for developers as it not only has a lot of predefined ready to use the function but also provides the ability to use complex java code within the platform. Great tool if you have good developers available.
  • Development is a little complex in comparison to others on the market. A high learning curve is required for developers. developers with java background are perfect for the job.

  • Scalability: On month-ends, the volume of the data is twice as much as other weeks, so Talend bandwidth scales well.
  • Availability: I have never seen the service interrupted.
  • Usability: The graphical user interface of dragging and dropping services is great.
  • DB support: It supports all our database connectivity, use Postgres and MongoDB.
  • Bugs: Came across some of the bugs in transforming column datatype especially on text.
  • Speed: Sometimes, bandwidth fluctuates in the data transfer as identified from logs, but so far so good.
  • Connector support: So far have not seen Actian Matrix plugins, could be useful.

  • Diverse data profiling analysis types. Talend DQ has a lot of great analysis report available that can be used in profiling.
  • Reporting is a relatively fast and has detailed information in visual and numeric representation.
  • The drill down capability, when it works, is very useful.
  • The print and export functionality are missing in the Community version which frustrates a lot of our clients as well as internal users.
  • The learning curve is very steep for all Talend products including DQ.
  • Lack of easy to create workflows for jobs that can be repeated.
