Oracle Coherence vs. Talend Data Fabric

It literally all boils down to the budget a team has. Nowadays, even investment banks look for every opportunity to cut cost. Oracle Coherence is a pretty robust and highly configurable cache application that every team should use if they can afford. If they can't, then open source code is their answer.

The best scenario that I see as productive is having several sources of information, the tool allows me to consolidate in a single income channel allowing me to maintain the integrity of the information, I like the treatment of financial data since speed and accuracy are needed in the accounting records. I believe that in any industry this tool would be 100% productive.

Lack of report export and publication! Steep learning curve!

At this moment the usability of Talend Data Quality is optimal, too bad I cannot say the same in the first three months, it was always a problem due to its steep learning curve, but what matters is being able to use it effectively at this precise moment.

Oracle Coherence support team is responsive and knowledgeable. We contacted them to ask a couple of design questions about how we were setting up Oracle Coherence based on how we used IBM's Datapower Extreme Scale. They were able to guide us so that we got the design correct the first time and didn't have to go back and re-architect our design later.

Talend Data Quality gave us direct help in the learning process and prevented us from taking many more months to adapt and I appreciate this from the heart, I think that thanks to the support we can have very detailed reports that help increase the use of Talend Data Quality in the company.

Coherence kicks Redis's butt when it comes to performance and feature set. However, it lags far behind in terms of market penetration and cloud readiness.

1) Talend offers more than 200 palettes, but most of them are repeated. For Example in Pentaho, we can use a single component ( Microsoft Excel input ) and we can get the data, sheet name, file name, and all other things like using a wildcard, etc. 2. Talend is an open-source tool that makes it easily accessible.

Incentivized

• Better performance allows us to onboard more clients
• Decom few mainframes that were needed to handle lots of DB queries
• Better customer service with intraday calculations ability.

• Integration with Salesforce is another positive breakthrough in ROI.
