Overall Satisfaction with Talend Open Studio

Talend Open Studio is one of the best integration tools I have used. It has a lot of options to integrate data from. Also, Talend can be connected to Tableau and other business intelligence tools in order to get a better visibility. The error tracking and troubleshooting are much better and help to easily identify the problems.
  • 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.
  • Definitely a positive impact. I liked the way talend is used for logging errors and debugging purposes. It helps to easily identify what the error is and helps build a solution.
  • SSIS and informatica
SSIS is a great tool in itself and more easier. But, debugging is better done in Talend.
Talend is best with its UI and is easy to use. I have solved a business case with the transformation components, and also used the Talend error handling and exception components. It works best and gives easy solutions without much coding involved.
