Overall Satisfaction with Talend Data Integration
We use the commercial Talend Data Integration and some open studio versions of their various tool sets. We primarily use it to consolidate data from several different databases. We are up to 30 across the four subject areas we refresh daily in our data lake / warehouse. The tools allow ease of access to various databases, including Oracle, SQL Server, Postgres, and Snowflake while providing access to blob storage on AWS and Google Cloud Platform.
- 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.
- Using contexts with both connections and variables causes some troubles. CLOBs and dates with timestamps have issues.
- The server-side should be completely revamped. The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it.
- Consumes more CPU and Memory. I feel it's bit less efficient.
- Implementation time is less. Enhance business decision making. Drive growth and innovation.
- Talend Data Integration lacks support for providing connectors to services like InforM3.
- Talend Data Integration helped us to simplify the migration process and we were able successfully upgrade our legacy application to Talend in the short span of 6 months.
Data Preparation is something which can improved and connectivity with more visualization tools are few factors which can be improved.
As Talend Data Integration becomes more cloud focused, the gap in features / functionality widens between on-premise functionality and the cloud. The move in creating a new product like pipeline designer only emphasis this gap.
