Talend Open Studio for all
- Talend runs fast and long without any issues to move millions of records as part of a single job run.
- Talend shows a good preview of the data counts moving between various systems.
- Using property files in Talend we can dynamically use various environment specific values seemlessly.
- Talend Open Studio does not have enough components to do Deduplication and fuzzy match using machine learning.
- Talend Open studio is not highly available and makes it tough to run Tier 1 applications.
- Talend Open Studio does not provide any good ways to do unit testing of the components.

My point of view of Talend Open Studio: Great!
- Your developers will be able to design SOA services graphically, and it is very easy to document and implement the code.
- Talend Open Studio is based on Eclipse IDE, so your developers will be very comfy using it
- Open is Key in Talend Open Studio = Open Source
- Since it is an Eclipse-Based IDE, sometimes it can be a little slow.
- You cannot setup your artifact repository using the same credentials as for other modules within the TOS.

Great tool for data migration
- It does provide a lot of predefined functionality out of the box along with providing the facility to use complex java code for developers.
- Mainly like it for small data utilities. It does provide a lot of control for developers.
- Pricing is, of course, a major plus :)
- Experienced few bugs sometimes. It behaves a little strange sometimes giving random code errors which go away just by restarting Talend Open Studio.
- Developers with java background are needed for complex development.

Talend, Make the most of your data!
- Talend Open Studio provides a great and easy to use interface. It is conveniently used to extract, transform and load the data and we can simply email business users though it is not a reporting tool. Also, it is easy and quick to install and get started.
- Custom code writing is a good feature which makes it even more flexible to use.
- MDM and data quality is also one of the key features of talend and helps to manage data well. MDM is easily available under GPL open license.
- Wide range of transformation components to play around and get the work done easily.
- The community is not that up to date and forum is not that great in response. Probably we should make people aware of the tool more on how to use and its implementations.
- Talend crashes when transforming a lot of data (millions of rows).
- Proper training documentation is a must for talend which is currently lagging. This will help users to learn more about Talend and use it effectively.

Step-by-step, Talend helps you build your integration flows
- Talend provides pre-built widgets to integrate with databases, web services, and FTP for example, which saves time and quality issues in building basic functionalities that are needed to create a full workflow.
- Using any tool, such as Talend, encourages a consistent mindset and approach for processing steps, rather than being 100% free-form logic based on the mood of the developer. This makes it easier to understand the workflow that is implemented, even if you are working with many different processes.
- Using Talend allowed me to work on a project to the point where the client needed to review it, pause development for a week or even 3 weeks if key people were very busy, and to resume work without much trouble at all. If I had been developing without such a tool, my custom code base would have been much larger, and I would have had more difficulty resuming work after such a break.
- Standard source control practices do not work the way you would expect them to when using Talend. The intermediate items that Talend creates in the workspace are not simply a set of .java files, so you must take extra care of managing your workspace directory. This means you must backup your entire workspace directory prior to upgrading the version of Talend you are using for active development. Granted, we should do this even when upgrading a basic Eclipse environment, but it is far easier to get back where you started if Eclipse gets messed up, than if Talend gets corrupted somehow. This is a key concern for developers, and gaining comfort with this is a matter of time committment to a single tool, which developers are hesitant to commit. There are options to help this in the team and enterprise versions of the tool, but those have their own barriers to adoption, money and agreement across a development team.
- It could take 2-3 weeks for an seasoned Java developer to gain comfort in how to best implement processes using Talend. It is worth it if you have a lot of projects that start, go on back-burner, then resume, or if you are switching between integration processes and wanting a standard way to build your programs

Good product can be better.
- The number of connectors /components that Talend offers is phenomenal from RDBMS to big data components, the options are plenty.
- Easy to use interface.
- Ability to write custom code.
- Open Source.
- Better technical support.
- Better documentation.
- Code generation and processing millions of records in a data warehousing environment can be sometimes very slow.
- Installation and deployment are very rapid.
- The user interface allows for quick builds and the testing.
- The build and deployment of your applications into production are simplified allowing for a shorter development lifecycle.
- More tutorials and examples of utilization of each component would be helpful. There are plenty of forums to gather this information but best practices and examples from the manufacturer always welcome in my book.

Talend Studio- RAD to the core
- System Integration: you want to pull data from SQL Server and load it into SalesForce? Easy. You need to export data from a COTS, encrypt and transmit it via FTP to an external vendor. Simple.
- Report Production: while Talend Open Studio is not primarily a reporting system, it is temptingly easy to extract data, dump it in Excel and email it to a business user. These will not be sophisticated, graphical reports, but will allow you to produce simple reports in minutes.
- Data Transformation and Processing: between your primary input and primary out, you have virtually unlimited ability to manipulate and transform your data in a custom workflow. Talend comes with components for aggregating, filtering, sorting. It also comes with more advanced components for merging or splitting input and output, pinging a server, and implementing custom rules and code.
- Data Quality and MDM: Talend includes many components for cleansing and managing reference and transnational data. Data masking de-duplication, fuzzy matching, and MDM functions can be implemented with clicking and dragging components.
- Talend Open Studio is the free product, and is very powerful in and of itself. The paid version comes with a host of other software and features including the TAC for job scheduling and monitoring. It also comes with more components and options.
- Talend's reliance on Java is both a strength and a weakness. The entire Talend infrastructure is built around open source projects, many of which are primarily implemented in JAVA, thus providing an affinity between the technologies. But the Java platform is unstable and quirky. Our most recent problems with Java include the auto-updater cannibalizing existing installations of JAVA. And if you require Java 8, it will uninstall 7 in the background without obtaining permission. So you will have to put up with all the miseries of managing your JVM.
