Overall Satisfaction with Talend Data Preparation
Talend Data is used to load data from different data sources such as SAP HANA, APIs, MS SQL, Excel sheets, etc. The aim is to extract the data from one/multiple sources, transform the same and then load it into the target data source. Talend is a very efficient tool for data preparation.
- Extract data from different type of sources - Great connectivity options available.
- Transform the data using multiple functions/components within Talend Data.
- Load the data into different types of target tables.
- One can also customize the code for specific use cases.
- Scheduling options are limited.
- Using Machine Learning is not very easy.
- Documentation provided by Talend can be better.
- Extraction of data from multiple sources.
- Transformation/preparation of data using multiple functions/components.
- Loading of data into different target databases.
- Positive impact in terms of delivering efficient solutions.
- Positive impact in terms of supporting decision making for business.
- Positive impact for providing the required data to business for analysis.
SAP Business Object Data Services is another ETL offering that I have used before Talend. The biggest advantage is that Talend is open source and very user-friendly. SAP BODS needs to improve on the user interface. Also, it works well with relational databases but is not very great with files and semi-structured data. Talend is great with REST APIs but that is not the case with SAP BODS.
