Overall Satisfaction with Talend Open Studio

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We helped several customers implement Talend for data migration and integration. We have used it mainly for migrating the data to Salesforce with various other systems like Oracle, MySQL, FTP (File-based integration/ migration), etc. It does provide a lot of predefined functionality out of the box along with providing the facility to use complex java code for developers. I mainly like it for small data utilities. It does provide a lot of control for developers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

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 :)

Cons

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.

Return on Investment

Overall a very good tool when comparing the pricing, features, and flexibilities provided together.

Other Software Used

Salesforce Analytics Cloud, Salesforce Commerce Cloud

Likelihood to Recommend

Well suited if you want to perform small data utilities as it provides good control to developers. Support of Java means you can perform a complex transformation. Not a very good experience when handling a large volume of data, however, it depends on a lot of other factors like system specifications etc. But still felt like a scope for improvement.
